What is the lifespan of a Vauxhall Zafira Life's battery?

I've been experiencing issues with my Zafira Life's battery and I'm wondering how long they typically last. I've had my car for 5 years now and I'm not sure if it's time for a replacement or if there's something else going on.

It really depends on how often you use your car and the driving conditions you're in. On average, a car battery should last 3-5 years. However, factors like extreme temperatures and frequent short trips can shorten its lifespan.

If you've had your battery for 5 years and are experiencing issues, it's probably time for a replacement. Have a mechanic test the voltage and overall health of your battery. It's always better to replace it before it dies completely and leaves you stranded.

Another thing to consider is the type of battery you have in your Zafira Life. Lead-acid batteries tend to have a shorter lifespan compared to newer technologies like AGM or lithium-ion batteries. If you have a choice, opt for a higher quality battery that can last longer.
