A study conducted by the SAAQ shows that in our climate, the maximum life expectancy of vehicle batteries is 5 years. Car battery replacement is crucial for several reasons.

A worn-out battery may fail to start your car, leaving you stranded at inconvenient times and locations. Regularly replacing your car battery ensures that your vehicle starts smoothly and reliably. It can cause your vehicle’s electrical system to malfunction, leading to potential safety hazards on the road. For instance, if the battery doesn’t provide enough power, essential safety features such as headlights, brake lights, and airbags may not function properly.

In certain instances, for vehicles such as BMW, they will even cut out components such as heating to preserve as much battery life as possible. A weak or old battery can strain other components of your vehicle’s electrical system, such as the alternator and starter motor, leading to premature wear and reduced performance.

Regular battery replacement helps maintain optimal performance for these critical components. Which is why we recommend replacing your battery every 5 years, no matter your vehicle’s mileage.
