WHEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR CAR BATTERY?

If you were to look at a brand new car, chances are that you would start thinking about how nice it looked, or about how much power this model had under the hood. Car technology is evolving at such a rapid rate, that it is surprising to think that one thing has barely changed over the past 100 years – the car. Lead-acid car batteries are definitely the underdogs of any automobile. No matter how fast you drive your car or how much abuse it takes from being exposed to the weather, your car battery will nearly always be reliable. Unfortunately, car batteries do have a limited life and require changing after prolonged use.

Depending on a number of factors including your location, usage and the quality of the battery itself, the average life for a standard car battery tends to be around four years. At about the three year mark, it is highly recommended that you start thinking about getting your battery checked. This is a simple test that basically provides a snapshot of the current battery quality. Batteries have a really bad habit of dying at the most inconvenient moments, such as the morning of a big meeting or before picking the kids up from school. You can either wait for this to happen, or change the battery on your own terms when you have the time to spare.
