There is no definitive answer to how long a battery in any vehicle may last, as it depends on several factors. You could expect a good flooded-cell battery to endure more than five years of use, while AGM may last for up to 10 years. This is, however, assuming ideal running conditions, as some situations can considerably lower these values. For a start, unfavorable driving habits with frequent shot short trips in city traffic may prevent sufficient charging. In addition, extremely high and low temperatures can also shorten the lifespan of a battery. But the biggest threat to batterys’ longevity are issues with the charging system and situations where the driver leaves it to go flat.
