Each time you turn the ignition key or press the “Start” button, the starter motor should crank the engine. This process is made possible by the 12-V flooded lead acid car battery, which is found on virtually every vehicle in the world. Some vehicles have a second battery, sometimes trucks and RVs may carry a battery bank,which links several batteries. The same batteries can be found in tractors, power equipment, motorcycles, powersports machines, snowmobiles, four-wheelers, and solar power backup systems, to mention but a few.

One good thing about car batteries is that they last for several years, but the lifespan typically depends on how they are used. The typical car battery, driven on a daily, properly maintained, and never deep-cycled, could last for upto 7 years, but that’s a best-case scenario you can expect. Majority of maintenance-free (read: replace on death) car batteries can last roughly 4 to 7 years. A short car battery life is usually 3 or 4 years, can be affected by different problems, such as seldom usage, corrosion, excessive deep cycling, electrolyte evaporation, damage, or charging issues.
