Frequently Asked Questions
Most car batteries last between 3 to 5 years, depending on your driving habits, the weather, and the car itself. Short journeys and cold starts wear them out quicker.
Slow engine cranking, dim headlights, dodgy electrics, or a dashboard warning light are all signs. If it's clicking instead of starting, that’s a big clue too.
