How Often Should the X-Trail Battery Be Replaced?

[PaigeFitz]

X-Trail batteries typically need replacement every 3 years. Battery lifespan: The designed lifespan of a battery is 27 months. For average family vehicles that are used moderately, new car batteries often last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, they generally require replacement every 2 years. Battery inspection: Inspect the battery's exterior for bulging, leakage, broken separators, or corrosion on the terminals. If any of these signs are present, the battery is likely dead and needs replacement. Check the battery voltage: after charging for two hours, measure the voltage of each cell every 20 minutes. If it's below 13V, the battery has issues. During discharge, test every 10 minutes in three intervals. If the discharge time is significantly faster than other batteries and falls below 10V, the battery is faulty.
