The battery icon does not mean the battery is bad.... it means the battery is not receiving the full charge. You might want to check wire connections, belt tension, or even have the alternator checked. Most major auto stores will check the alternator free of chare.

What is the lifetime of a car battery?
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.

Why do batteries in smoke detectors have to be replaced in 6 months?
They don't. Normally the 9 volt alkaline batteries in a smoke detector need to be replaced every year. If yours needs to be replaced every 6 months then something is wrong. If you are using a standard battery and not an alkaline battery it may only last 6 months. Use nothing but alkaline batteries. You sould hear a chirp from the detector when the battery needs replacing. A hard wired smoke detector has a battery back-up that should last around 2 years. If it only lasts 6 months then there is no power to the smoke detector and it is wired wrong or the wiring has come loose. The only reason to recommend changing batteries every 6 months is bacuase people tend to not change the batteries as they should. It has been proven by tests that about 35% of smoke detectors in homes have dead batteries.
