With any new Honda, you get exceptional warranties to help protect your investment for many years. The original battery on your Honda is covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and it’s effective for 3 years or 36,000 miles. If you purchase a replacement battery directly from Honda, you receive a Honda battery warranty for 100 months or approximately 8 years. If you would like your battery tested, contact the service department at Gates Honda.

How to Know When a Car Battery Needs Replacing

Now that you know more about the Honda battery warranty, you might be wondering how you know when it’s time to replace your car battery. The average life of a car battery for Lexington drivers is anywhere from 2 to 5 years, but there are many things that impact its longevity. Driving habits, extreme weather conditions, and regular wear and tear will impact your battery’s performance.Batteries naturally lose their ability to hold a charge as they age, and when a vehicle is left parked for extended periods, it also deteriorates battery life. If you find that you have to get a jump start on a regular basis, it’s probably time for a replacement battery.

How to Extend Your Battery Life

Even if you have a Honda 100 month battery warranty, there are still many things you can do to help extend the life of your car battery. Like most other major vehicle components, regular maintenance and care will help it last longer and make those trips around Winchester worry-free. Some easy ways to make your car battery last longer include:

• Remember to turn off your lights at the end of your drive: Leaving headlights or cabin lights on after driving your vehicle will quickly drain your battery. You should also avoid the use of electronics while your car is sitting idle, as that makes the battery work harder.
• Avoiding short rides: When you make a quick trip around Berea, your car battery doesn’t have much time to fully charge which can put extra strain on the battery.
• Follow your vehicle’s recommended regular maintenance schedule: Sticking to your service schedule will always help protect your battery, as technicians will check its performance and check for potential problems.
