How Do I Know if My Car’s Battery Needs to Be Replaced?

How Often Should I Replace My Car Battery?
We recommend replacing your car’s battery every 4-5 years, but this can vary based on weather and driving habits. Some of the most common factors that contribute to battery wear are excessive heat, which causes fluid to evaporate, short driving trips, and excessive battery use including charging devices.
Preventative maintenance is important when it comes to your battery because it can be difficult to gauge how much starting power your battery has, so consider having your battery tested twice a year, or every time you come in for an oil change.
