Generally, batteries can be used for 3-6 years. In addition, battery life depends on battery type and how well the battery is maintained.

If you measure battery State of Health (SOH), you can immediately know if battery needs to be replaced. Also, the current required for starting your car (CCA) is equally important. Therefore, have your mechanic check overall battery condition and then decide if you need to change the battery.

The important thing is to fully charge the battery before any battery testing.

Stable supply of electricity is absolutely essential to the operation of modern vehicles. Electricity also affects the engine, transmission, alternator, starter motor in addition to various electronic sensors and electronic control units. Therefore, battery management matters a lot in all modern vehicles.
