Many last between three and five years, but they can wear out faster or last longer based on various factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery&rsquo;s type is perhaps the most influential factor in its lifespan. Some types last longer than others thanks to improvements in their materials and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listed below are the most common battery types, a short description, and their expected lifespans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"vehicle battery\" class=\"wp-image-86080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vehicle-battery.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flooded lead-acid and sealed lead-acid batteries last between 3 to 5 years, while absorbent glass mat batteries have a lifespan of roughly 7 years, and a typical lithium-ion battery can last from 8 to 20 years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The flooded lead-acid battery is one of the oldest battery types. Its cost-effectiveness and reliability make it very common, but the lead-acid solution depletes over time. If the battery has a cap, you can open it and pour distilled water to replenish the solution. But if the part doesn&rsquo;t have a serviceable cover, you must replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the flooded battery also has the shortest service life among the battery types. It delivers brief surges of voltage required to fire up the engine, a process that wears it out faster than other batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The typical flooded lead-acid battery lasts between three to five years.<\/strong> You can expect roughly 30,000 starts from a flooded battery before you need to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/sla-battery-guide-definition-types-charging-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sealed lead-acid batteries\">Sealed lead-acid batteries<\/a> use the same operating principles as flooded batteries. Completely sealed to reduce gas leaks and prevent spillage, they suit off-road vehicles like Jeeps and SUVs that often traverse uneven terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most sealed lead-acid batteries also run for three to five years<\/strong>, just like traditional flooded batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/agm-vs-standard-battery-which-is-better-for-your-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AGM battery\">AGM battery<\/a> gets its name from the glass mats it uses instead of the lead plates in lead-acid batteries. It works by absorbing electrolytes and keeping the latter in a solid state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AGM batteries need a battery charger designed to recharge the type. Always check a charger&rsquo;s compatibility with an AGM-type battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The typical AGM battery has a lifespan of roughly seven years<\/strong>. It can last as long as three flooded or sealed lead-acid batteries. Its longevity and superior performance make it suitable for use in cars with start-stop technology that automatically turns the engine off and on while idling to save fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lithium-Ion (Li-On) Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most electric vehicles (EVs) run on lithium-ion batteries. Also called lithium batteries and li-on batteries, they can store and release way more power than lead-acid or AGM batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A typical lithium-ion battery can last from eight to 20 years.<\/strong> It can power your EV for 100,000 to 200,000 miles before it needs replacement. However, extreme temperatures can cut that prolonged lifespan short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Affects Average Car Battery Life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The car battery doesn&rsquo;t operate in a vacuum. While its type sets the device&rsquo;s expected lifespan, other factors can wear the battery down until it fails earlier than it should<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of factors that can shorten the average car battery life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternator Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery cannot replenish itself. Instead, it receives current from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/alternator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"alternator\">alternator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/how-to-diagnose-a-faulty-alternator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"faulty alternator\">faulty alternator<\/a> might not deliver sufficient voltage to the depleted battery. If the battery&rsquo;s voltage drops below a certain level, it becomes discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot charge a discharged battery even if you replace the bad alternator with a new one. If you force the issue, you risk damaging the alternator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, a jump start will only provide a temporary charge and might not work the next time. You must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/how-to-replace-a-car-battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"replace the discharged battery\">replace the discharged battery<\/a> with a new one immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extreme Temperatures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you live in a very hot or cold state? Extreme temperatures can shorten your car battery&rsquo;s lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extreme heat will effectively cook the car battery inside the engine bay. Meanwhile, extreme cold reduces the battery&rsquo;s ability to produce power, forcing the device to work harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High temperatures will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/5-signs-of-a-bad-battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"wear the car battery\">wear the car battery<\/a> down faster than low temperatures. However, both extremes bode ill for your vehicle, so avoid extensive exposure to either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corrosion and Rust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The car battery&rsquo;s terminals usually accumulate rust over time. They&rsquo;re made of metal and get exposed to liquid electrolytes. If you regularly clean them and keep corrosion to a minimum, the battery will run fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/how-to-spot-and-prevent-a-corroded-car-battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"too much corrosion\">too much corrosion<\/a> interferes with the current flow through the battery terminals. If that happens, the battery cannot supply the engine with power. Likewise, the charging current from the alternator might not reach the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving Habits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, your driving habits can make or break the car battery. Specifically, the battery won&rsquo;t last as long as it should if you don&rsquo;t drive enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the alternator charges the battery. But what powers the charging device in turn? The engine does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what does this mean? The alternator can only charge the car battery while you drive. If the engine doesn&rsquo;t run, neither does the alternator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the alternator requires an intact belt for operation. If the alternator belt breaks or develops a problem, the alternator itself won&rsquo;t run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the alternator doesn&rsquo;t instantly top off the battery. Charging requires time. That means the engine must run throughout the charging process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you drive infrequently and briefly, the alternator doesn&rsquo;t get enough time to charge the battery. The battery will continue to drain until it discharges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaving the Power On When the Ignition Is Off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can make the mistake of leaving one of your vehicle&rsquo;s lights or another electrical part running overnight, and this is bad for the car battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you turn the engine off but leave an electrical part running, the component will draw power from the battery. Leaving the part on long enough might drain the battery enough to cause a discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"automotive alternator image\" class=\"wp-image-86081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/automotive-alternator.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A faulty alternator might not deliver sufficient voltage to the depleted battery. If the battery&rsquo;s voltage drops below a certain level, it will discharge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rare Vehicle Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A battery can also lose charge if you don&rsquo;t drive your vehicle too much. A new battery can probably sit unused for about two weeks before it loses charge, but there are some batteries that can work fine even after four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this might be the case, it&rsquo;s still better to be on the safe side. Even if you&rsquo;re not going anywhere for a while, it&rsquo;s a good idea to warm up the engine from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make the Car Battery Last Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some steps you can take to help your car battery reach its expected lifespan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refill Lead-Acid Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flooded lead-acid batteries contain a liquid electrolyte. Over time, the electrolyte gets depleted. If the electrolyte level drops too low, the battery will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent this, you must regularly refill the flooded battery. Don protective garments to avoid exposing your face and hands to the harsh electrolyte solution. Open one of the caps and carefully pour distilled or deionized water into the car battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refill your car&rsquo;s flooded lead-acid battery at least once a month. If you often drive long distances, make this a weekly habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch for Corrosion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the car battery clean and free of rust. Every six months, inspect the battery&rsquo;s terminals and other metal parts. If you come across any signs of corrosion, remove it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drive Longer and More Often<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hop into your car and take longer trips more often. Try to drive for at least 30 minutes once a week. The longer the engine runs, the more time it gives the alternator to charge the battery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be More Careful<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always turn the power off before shutting the engine down. Check the lights and other electrical parts to make sure they have been shut down. Make sure not to leave the key in the ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery Life Warning Signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s only so much you can do to make the most out of your battery&rsquo;s service life. No matter how well you were able to take care of it, you&rsquo;ll eventually need to replace it with a new one. It might be time to shop for a new battery if you notice these signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Illuminated battery warning light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow cranking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grinding or buzzing sound upon turning the ignition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corroded battery terminals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While these symptoms typically point to a worn-out battery, keep in mind that these can also indicate trouble with other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If such symptoms are present even with a newly installed battery, it might be best to have a professional check the electrical system and properly diagnose your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does A New Car Battery Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning to get a new car battery, get ready to pay anywhere between $130 and $530 for a quality replacement part. The exact price of the car battery varies according to factors like the product&rsquo;s brand and your vehicle&rsquo;s make and model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get a New Battery for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A car <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"battery\">battery<\/a> that&rsquo;s run its course won&rsquo;t generate enough power for components to run efficiently.
