The Importance of Your Car Battery
The importance of your vehicle's battery can't be overstated, as it's one of the most vital components of your vehicle. A vehicle battery controls whether your car will start or if your radio, lights or climate controls turn on and function properly. Because of this, it's key to stay on top of your battery and make sure it's always working properly. Battery health is crucial, especially in Alberta where we often see more cold months than warm, so taking care of it is essential to taking care of your vehicle itself.
How Long Does a Vehicle Battery Last?
It would be great if vehicle batteries lasted forever and you didn't have to worry about them, but they're an important component that always requires you to keep tabs on. A car battery lasts anywhere from 3-to-5 years, and you can find out its manufacturing date off the code on the cover of your battery. Even if you have an old battery that seems to operate normally, neglecting maintenance for it will negatively affect your vehicle. Batteries like to be used, and extended periods of inactivity or only trips of 20 minutes or so will both work to shorten its lifespan.
