How Often Batteries Need to Be Replaced

Batteries only have a finite lifespan. Things like excessive hot and cold temperatures can also reduce the life of a battery. They are designed to last approximately three to five years, depending on the type of battery that you have. While you may get a battery jumpstarted periodically, this is a temporary solution until you can bring it into a service center. You don't want to run into a situation where you're stranded because of a dead battery, so you need to look at replacement when it has reached a certain age.

When Batteries Need to Be Replaced

While batteries have been known to die without any kind of warning, there are often indications that it's on its way out:

• The engine is slow to start
• Connectors on the battery are corroded
• There's a rotten egg smell
• The 'check engine' light is on
• There are dim lights or other electrical issues

If you notice any of these signs, it's best not to change it. Bring your vehicle into us at MAG BMW so that we can run a test on the battery and determine if it's time to be replaced.
