Electrical systems rarely fail—but auto batteries are not designed to last the life of a vehicle. If you keep your vehicle long enough, your battery will eventually require replacement. Want to know how to tell if a car battery is bad? Here are some signs that your vehicle’s battery may be failing:
The average car battery life is 3 to 5 years. However, auto battery quality, driving habits, and driving region have an impact on a battery’s life. For example, if you take many short trips (less than 20 minutes), your battery won’t have enough time to recharge fully, which can shorten the battery’s life. Also, exposure to extreme temperatures—both hot and cold—can shorten its lifespan.
Wondering how to check your car battery? Our Virtual Battery Tester can give you an idea of how long your original battery might last. If your battery is near the end of its estimated life for your region, Tires Plus offers a choice of batteries to fit your vehicle.
