How Long Does a Car Battery Last?

As you're likely aware, the parts in your vehicle won't last forever. Having parts replaced over time is a natural part of the car ownership experience. Knowing when a replacement is needed is key. So, for example, how long does a car battery last? That's exactly what we're here to address.

Our Ray Price Mazda service team aims to make drivers around East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, Easton, Brodheadsville, and Saylorsburg, PA, as knowledgeable as possible. To do that, we've created overviews such as this handy dive into car batteries!

Keeping an Eye on Your Car Battery

Most car batteries last three or four years before you'll start to see them wear down and fade. All you really have to do over this period of time is avoid leaving the battery on while your car is turned off, as this will surely drain the battery.

For instance, leaving the cabin lights or the headlights turned on after turning off the car will put an unnecessary strain on the battery. The battery may also begin to fade early if it's regularly exposed to severe heat or cold.
