Why Does a Car Battery Need to Be Serviced?

As a car battery ages, it can be more difficult to start your vehicle in cold weather and between long periods of not driving it as its ability to recharge starts to fade. As the condition of your car battery starts to deteriorate, it will fail to provide your vehicle with the electricity it needs to power the electrical components in your vehicle, including windshield wipers, headlights, heating and cooling systems, power steering, defroster and much more. When your car battery fails, you will also be unable to start your vehicle, which could leave you stranded in cold weather.

 

 

How Long Does a Car Battery Last?

A car battery does not last forever and will need to be replaced or serviced in order for it to continue to supply your vehicle with the power it needs to operate and function properly. When you buy a new car battery, it should last anywhere from three to five years, depending on weather, humidity levels, driving conditions and habits, and a few other factors. If you don’t know how old your current car battery is, you can look at the battery to find its manufacturing date.
