The lifespan of the average vehicle battery is 3 to 4 years. Once your battery gets into this age range, have it tested prior to any long journey.
Have the charging system tested at the same time as your battery. Under or overcharging can damage the battery and may leave you stranded.
Always replace a bad battery with a new one that has a Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) rating equal to, or higher than, that of the original equipment battery. This rating can be found on a label affixed to lead acid batteries.
Make sure your battery's terminals are kept clean and free of corrosion, and ensure that the battery cables are not frayed and in good condition.
