I change out batteries at the 3-4 year mark, having had batteries fail at 3 years. ---

it depends on where you live. I live in Pennsylvania and usually get at least 4-5 years out of a battery ---

Many people drive until the battery dies, but that can happen at a time or place that’s inconvenient. I prefer to replace my battery proactively at around four or five years, especially because I keep my cars for eight to ten years, so normally I replace it once and I’m done. ---

My battery was still keeping a charge after 9 years. I replaced it just to be safe. ---

Go to a car parts store, have them check your battery and alternator (should be free), tell us what you find out. ---

Among the 3 cars I’ve maintained, 6 years has been typical battery life. The original battery in my 99 RAV4 lasted 9 years though. I’m in southern Iowa. ---

Some auto stores will do a conductance test on the battery to determine its condition. I did a conductance test on my own battery, and these were the results. ![BATTERY%20TEST%20RESULT](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/6/6da425f16bfadb05da283d5b196d497d0538e9fc.jpg) Tester
