When Should a Car Battery Be Replaced Based on Its Lifespan?
1 Answers
Batteries are designed to last for 27 months. For general family vehicles that are used conservatively, new car batteries can often last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, they typically need to be replaced every 2 years or so. Battery Maintenance Methods: Frequent Charging: Car batteries should be charged regularly. If left unused for extended periods, they will gradually self-discharge until they become unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to charge the battery. Regular Cleaning: Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply specialized grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly inspect the battery's components and connecting circuits. Avoid Using Electrical Devices After Turning Off the Engine: Using car electrical devices after the engine is turned off is prohibited. The battery is used independently when the engine is not generating electricity, which can cause damage to it.
