What Does the Car Battery Do?

 

Your car battery is like the heart of your vehicle. It gives the jolt of energy needed to start the engine and keeps things like your lights, radio, and electronics running when the engine is off. Without a working battery, your car just won’t start—it’s as simple as that.

 

What Is the Life Expectancy of a Car Battery?

 

On average, a car battery lasts about 3 to 5 years. However, how long it lasts can depend on things like your driving habits, the climate you’re in, and how well you take care of it. Regular battery checks and keeping it clean can go a long way in helping it last longer.

 

How Much Should Car Battery Replacement Cost?

 

Replacing a car battery usually costs between $300 and $600, but the price can vary depending on the type, brand, and where you buy it. Premium options, like AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, tend to be more expensive because they offer advanced technology and a longer lifespan.

 

Difference Between Regular and AGM Batteries

 

Regular Battery: Also called a flooded battery, this is the most common type you’ll find in vehicles. It’s budget-friendly but does require some upkeep, like checking and refilling the electrolyte levels to keep it running smoothly.

AGM Battery: AGM batteries are a step up, offering superior performance and a longer lifespan. They’re maintenance-free and built to resist vibrations, making them perfect for modern vehicles that rely on a lot of electrical power.

 

What Shortens Car Battery Life?

 

Extreme temperatures (hot or cold)

Frequent short trips

Overcharging or undercharging

Leaving lights or accessories on when the engine is off

Faulty alternator
