Catherine Zeta Jones has had a tough few years, from her husbandâs cancer to her own very public battle with bipolar disorder.
Under ideal conditions, one automobile battery can last up to six years, but several factors decrease this optimal lifetime. A study of 2,769 sample 12 volt batteries conducted in 2004 showed that the average lead acid battery life is 50 months. Batteries in the northern US had an average life of 56 months compared to those in the south which had an average life of 43 months. Lead acid batteries last longer in cold climates as warm climates increase water loss and sulfation. Car battery life span range is 2 to 5 years.
Report Abuse. 1  A LOT of misinformation here. First, do not keep the battery in the boot especially if it is a wet battery filled with acid. 2  It will stay charged for about 4 months. It will be slowly losing power the whole time, but typically one can retain at least enough to start the car after sitting for about 4 months. Given enough time the car battery will die. Once it gets a jump and is ran for a while it will re-charge, but just left sitting it will die. Depending on how good of shape the battery is it will die in a day to 2 weeks. Ashley Â· 6 years ago.
