It is not always necessary to replace the car battery if it frequently loses charge. Some batteries lose charge due to car discharge or leakage, and they can continue to be used after recharging. The original battery of a new car typically lasts more than 3 years, while a replacement battery usually lasts around 2 years. When a car battery loses charge, it can lead to sulfation. In cases of severe charge loss, the battery may become irreparable. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Car batteries are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. The normal service life of a car battery varies from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the condition of the vehicle.
