I am still using the same car battery for 8 years 4 months and it is fine , but I've had a

battery develop a dead cell at 3 years 10 months ( the battery had a 4 year free

replacement period )

Know that every time you run the battery down, you take months away from the life of the battery. Many things contribute to the life of a battery. Short trips of less than 20 minutes will shorten the life as the alternator will not fully recharge the battery. Extreme temperatures either hot or cold shorten the life of a battery. On average a battery will last from 36 to 48 months. But I have had them last 7 years and others that only lasted 3 years.

How long do the engines in hybrid cars usually last?

If properly maintained, hybrid engines can last 10-20 years or even longer. The battery will need to be replaced, however. With a hybrid car, the concern is generally with the lifespan of the battery since that is where the car gets its power and that is what distinguishes it from a regular engine. The batteries on a hybrid vehicle are intended to last for the lifetime of the car. The engine should also last for the car's lifetime if it is properly maintained.
