Common questions.

  • How long does a car battery last?

    • If you have the right battery fitted to your car

    • How often you use your car

    • How well your car is maintained

    • The quality of your battery

    • The technology that it needs to power

    If you’re not replacing the battery, it will need recharging with a battery charger. This may take up to 48 hours to return it to full charge.
