How many years does a car battery normally last?
three years
The average car battery will last three years, though this could be affected by your battery brand, vehicle type, area’s climate, car care, and driving patterns.
How much does it cost to replace a car battery?
How much does the battery replacement cost? A new car battery costs from $60 to $180 and your dealer may charge another $30-$50 to have it replaced. Replacing a car battery as a do-it-yourself project is not very difficult, but the battery is heavy (30-45 lb). Lifting it out of the car can be hard on your back.
How old should car batteries be before they need to be replaced?
I test batteries 3-7 years old and report the results, batteries over 7 years are recommended for replacement without testing because they can’t be proven reliable. I guess it depends whether the goal is to see how long a battery will last or to have a car that always starts.
What’s the longest battery you’ve gotten out of a car?
I attribute the long life to the battery being insulated from extremes of heat and cold, being in the trunk. (also it’s obviously a quality battery and it has never been run dead to my knowledge) The next longest-lived battery I had lasted over 8 years, and it lived under the hood of my old 1994 vehicle. It was run low once but never totally dead.
When to replace the battery in an Acura?
Batteries are luck of the draw. When they get about 5-6 years old I generally replace them. Things are spread out around here and especially at night, it’s often a long, dark, deserted stretch to anywhere so battery replacement is a hedge against getting stranded. My previous neighbor has an Acura and it’s now close to 9 years old.
