Determining When to Replace a Car BatteryI don't know the "official" answer, but will provide an answer as to how I've done it for over 50 years.

I replace a vehicle battery when it will not HOLD a charge over 2-3 days without use of the vehicle, but only after I've checked out the charging and electrical system on my cars or trucks and found them to not be causing a significant "drain" on the battery.
