Car battery life?

what is the longest you have ever had a car battery last? I have toyota corolla that had a new battery put in November of 2017 and it is still going strong. Never have had one last longer than maybe 4 and half years before.

5 years but it needed to be replaced well before that. I had to boost my car a few times because I was too lazy to go get a new one. I usually get a new one every 2 years when I get my tags.

I had a 1998 Dodge Dakota that I dove for 6 years. Put over 100k on it and never did anything to it but change the oil and tires. It still had the original brakes, battery and everything else when I sold it.
Granted, I was commuting a lot from Nola-->BR so a lot of highway miles.

I’ve got one the garage said was “bad” at 69% figure I’m good till Fall, that said I think the longest I’ve had one was 6/7 years in my truck.
Seems like everything else price of batteries has taken off as well.

They use to last 4-5 years on average now I'm lucky if I get 2 years out of them.

Still got the stock battery in my 2017. Going strong

I usually go about 3 years.

Two years is about the longest I’ve gone.
Also, why doesn’t the battery warning light work in vehicles?
I’ve owned several vehicles across many different makes, they all have the warning light, and I’ve never been warned. It’s always one or two weak starts before I know I’m going to need a jump.

My vehicle batteries average 4 years. But i have a Kubota tractor with one from 2016. Its a Kubota labeled battery so i dont know what brand. Its crazy bc that tractor runs twice a month on average in the summer with maybe 100 hours a year. Even less in winter.

I got 9½ yrs. from my original Cayenne battery and it was still working well. Changed it because past 8 was pushing it I was told.

I got just under 8 years with a Optima yellow top. Probably could have made eight but I had a trip out of state in the winter time and didn’t want to chance it with it being outside in freezing weather.
Always had good luck with Interstate batteries.

Depends where you live.
Wet air is bad for batteries.
