Remember that regular and thorough battery maintenance can help extend battery life and keep the starting/charging system running efficiently.

NO MORE MISTAKES WITH CAR BATTERY TIME-LIFE!
Most batteries are at least 75% charged at the time of purchase and should start and drive fine. Most new cars and trucks still have submerged lead-acid batteries, and most drivers can replace them.
Most cars and trucks use wet cell lead-acid batteries that contain LED plates separated by layers of material that slow down the flow of ions between the plates. Automotive batteries that use a lead and antimony plates require regular topping up with clean water to compensate for water loss due to electrolysis and evaporation.
Lithium batteries have a higher energy density than lead-acid, so they can meet the needs of vehicles with significantly less weight (great for racing cars). AGM automotive batteries can withstand deep cycles or deep discharges without significant charge, with less risk of long-term damage.
A car that won’t start is every driver’s biggest fear! Therefore, The sooner you can inspect your car battery, the less likely you’ll face a dead battery.
