First of all battery cables don't have a replacement interval per se. The defects that usually precipitate the replacement of a cable are failure of the insulation on the cable or corrosion and wear of the end the fits to the battery post. If you don't replace the cable when needed the most common affect will be the starter motor will receive to little electrical current to start the car, the charging system will be unable to sufficiently charge the battery, or the head lights will be dim
