The lifespan of a car battery can vary based on several factors, including the battery’s quality, extreme temperatures, vibrations, and maintenance. While some batteries may only last a few years, others can last up to five or more. If you need a new car battery, here’s everything you need to know about getting one from your Ford dealership.

Top-Quality Motorcraft Batteries
As time passes, car batteries lose performance and may not provide enough power to operate the electronic components or turn on the engine. Car batteries can last up to five years, depending on driving habits and conditions. We recommend replacing a car battery when it’s five years old to avoid the inconvenience of a dead battery.
We offer top-quality, warranty-covered Motorcraft batteries that feature the latest technologies in design and engineering. These batteries provide reliable power to modern high-tech vehicles in various conditions.
Complimentary Computerized Battery Tests
If you want to assess the condition of your car battery, especially if it’s older than three years, our certified technicians provide complimentary computerized battery tests. The test determines the strength of your car battery and whether you need a replacement or not.
Factors that Influence Battery Life
Extreme temperatures can have a significant impact on your battery life and damage the battery case, causing it to crack or swell. Another factor that can shorten your battery’s life is charging malfunctions and continuous under or overcharging that will cause your battery to become weak and eventually die.
Signs It’s Time for a Battery Replacement
A weak car battery can manifest itself in several ways. The battery indicator light on the dashboard may turn on due to a voltage drop. You may also notice that your car’s headlights and dashboard lights are dimmer than usual and may struggle with electronic issues like slow-moving windows and windshield wipers.
When your car needs a new battery, our certified Ford technicians are here to help you every step of the way. Stop at Freeway Ford today for a battery test and a top-quality Motorcraft battery to ensure your Ford never lets you down.
