Batteries can easily last 6-7 years if you ensure to do the following: First and foremost, make sure the battery in the vehicle matches the CA and CCA for that application. Preliminary Checks to do: When I buy a new battery, before I put it into service, I verify myself by checking the voltage reading at the posts, prior to installing. Just because you buy a new battery from a store, doesn't mean its 100% charged, this is common misconception. Maintenance Checks to do: Inspect and maintain all of the cables in the starting/charging circuit, including ground points to the engine block and frame, ensure everything is tight and snug. Keep the battery terminals clean and free of the acidic residue that develops (especially on top post/terminal applications). Buy a battery terminal cleaning kit, apply the cleaner, thoroughly scrub all connection points at the terminals, follow up with the corresponding primer (which is alkaline based). Put a trickle charger to the vehicle and let it float charge overnight, do this throughout the year. Especially perform this during winter months. If your battery did fully discharge from an interior light being left on, get the vehicle jump started, but afterwards, put a trickle charger to the vehicle. If your vehicle has sat parked and not driven for than one month, start it up and let it idle for 15-20 minutes or put a trickle charger to it. If you live in really cold climates, where the temperatures can drop well below freezing, purchase and install a battery wrap/blanket to help with internal thermal issues. If you have a serviceable lead acid (SLA) battery (which most are) remove the caps and inspect the water level in each port opening. Don't leave your ignition or accessories on for an extended period of time. If you are running aftermarket offroad lights or have a bitchin" stereo system, make your battery can handle the added electrical draw, or upgrade to an AGM or Lithium battery robust enough to meet your needs. An original factory type battery may not be able to handle it. I do this to all of my vehicles, and I can get around 7 years until it becomes time for replacement. And my driving patterns are a mixed of urban stop and go traffic along with towing loads on the highway. While all of this may seem common sense to the average gear head and automotive enthusiast, it may not for some people who may not be thoroughly mechanically inclined.

@Donniec685 Жыл бұрын
Changing your battery isn’t always your problem however it is a common problem. Amperage is what turns everything. Damage to your wiring in your starting system can be bypassed with enough amperage. a new battery has plenty of amperage. Remember a simple multimeter isn’t enough information to determine your battery is good or bad. Always check for voltage drop and resistance before determining the cause of your problem. And always properly diagnosis your batteries before simply replacing them. A few minutes can save you hundreds of dollars and headache down the road.

Had situations where you have 12 at the post, but when you check at the starter , 10 volts, then checking while cranking even less. Pull the starter cable. Slice the insulation off, the cable will have electrolysis on half the cable. The green yellow powder corrosion that you see on the battery will extend into the cable. , always check the basics first. Got any gas in it. SLINGBLADE😅😅

Car batteries will last 10 years with maintenance: distilled water and charging. Put that 6 year old battery on solar 12 volt panel w/cheap pwm charge controller for 7-10 days (in summer) and it will function like new again: hold more volts between charges. Alternately, put on a plug-in trickle charger for a few days. If you drive down bumpy gravel/dirt roads, that can be hard on your batteries as it will shake loose flakes of metal and cause your battery to short prematurely. Some batteries just last longer. I have bought the Costco battery recently, and the cheapest battery from Walmart (fortified w/sodium sulfate while brand new and condition charged up with solar) and the fixed battery from Walmart is better, but beware, because those Walmart batteries have often been sitting and sulfating and need to be condition charged as they come into use for best performance and long life. Covid and people not using their cars as often was hard on car batteries. I learned big charging lessons.

The warranty of the battery is irrelevant except if you are returning it. The batteries are the same, you just pay extra for a longer warranty. If your battery cables are making poor contact, your battery may not charge adequately. Though your battery was old and only 10.2 volts, it still may have been OK. Now that you've changed the battery and cleaned every thing up, you'll never know. If you ever have a starting issue, the very first thing you do is clean the cables and charge the battery if needed. Then check the charging system, THEN decipher the culprit.

If you take care of your battery it will last much longer than 3 years. Kind of irked me when he said "Oh my, it's 6 years old, the warranty is only 3 years! It needs to be replaced." Its like oil, if you beat on your vehicle, or work it hard, replace your oil sooner, if you treat your vehicle well, and don't Rev the hell out of it, doing burnouts and attempting wheelies, your oil will last longer.

Lead Acid batteries last for 25+ years, in cars they go bad because of cell size for weight saving but mostly for not being maintained well because... They're advertised as "maintenance free". I have mine for nearly 7 years, the maintenance is: 1) Overnight charge every 2 weeks to 1 month or when i'm bored or have started the car more than 3-4 times, have music playing or lights for more than 5 minutes, if i don't drive for 2+ hours afterwards. 2) Checking the water level and add distilled water if needed 3) Visually check the condition of the plates by unscrewing the gravity indicator or caps. If white spot sulfation appears on the plates,, i charge it at 30 volts at 20-50amp capacity for 3-5 minutes with vents, caps or gravity indicator off using a welder or a big DC power supply. *Don't do this at home the information is purely educational, it needs to be done in special laboratories, the battery can leak or explode acid.* This is because sulfation goes away with charging but the plates increase their resistance due to sulfation so normal charging voltage doesn't charge it so sulfation stays there and gets worse until it can't get any charge at all. If the battery's water is contaminated usually brown by the plate's disintegration you can flush it and replace the electrolyte solution after you dispose the old one of properly with the help of a chemist in a chemistry lab *and not at home*.

My batteries last for Decades. How? By reconditioning them every three or so years and burning off any corrosion on the plates, then taking that corrosion pit of the water cells and topping off the cells with distilled water. So, unless your battery has a cracked case or broken terminal. Thry can actually last a long, long time. The warranty period is only good for a replacement if it somehow stops working before that date. They typically last at least the first 5 to 6 without any major issues.

Yes at the very beginning your voltage shows 9 volts or less… and at the end shows a battery that has the reserve capacity to hold eleven and a half volt at start up!!!! And that my friend is what kills your battery!!!! Reserve capacity. Once it can’t hold what it takes to start the motor the other side of this is battery first then alternator …. lol.

My car was starting just fine, changed spark plugs, started right up, drove a bit, parked it, a few mins later tried to start it and all I get is this clicking too 😅😅

I know allot of people don’t like AC Delco . But I’ve always gotten 6-8 years out them and I’ve probably had 20 of them
