Car batteries with 3 year warranties will often last 5 years. Car batteries with 5 year warranties will often last 8 years. Driving more miles, having your engine idling more hours and starting your engine more times a year will wear out your battery faster. A good time to replace your battery is when you start up your engine and the starter cranks up much slower than usual when it's above freezing.
a car battery should last between 5 and 7 years, the older it gets tho the less it will will hold its power. you may encounter problems on a cold morning if your battery is getting on a bit

A car battery lasts, on average, about three to five years. The life expectancy can change depending on usage and care; the length and number of trips taken, as well as the quality of care of the battery can both effect battery life.
It varies I've has a battery go bad with a dead cell at 3 years 10 months ( it had a 4 year free replacement , so a new battery was installed and I was charged $ 5 for the labor to install the new battery back in 1994 at the gas station where I bought the battery ) The original battery on my Ford Explorer went bad with a dead cell after 6 and 1/2 years , the Ford Motorcraft replacement is now 7 years and 3 months old and is still fine I had a battery last 8 years - I replaced it because it was getting weak and wouldn't crank the engine over normally when it was cold in the winter

Most car batteries are known to last about 5 to 7 years, but that range varies according to amount of use and how many times it has been run down. The quality of the brand used also plays a factor in battery lifespan.
