How often should you change your car battery?
user
I know that the recommended rule of thumb is to change it about every 3-5 years.  I’m happy to give you more information on this subject, but it might be helpful if you could tell me what you think about this?  I have access to many online resources, and I’m happy to help you out, but I think you might be able to find answers to your questions more easily if you’re more involved in looking for them.

I think the first answer you’ll get from googling that is, “As often as it feels reasonable,” and that’s not a bad answer. It will depend on your driving habits, whether or not you live in a place with lots of cold winters, and if you own a newer vehicle that’s supposed to have a long life and fewer battery-related issues.  I’d also recommend keeping an eye on the owner’s manual and being careful about overcharging it.
