All batteries lose their charge over time, which causes the overall output and performance standards to decline. Large fluctuations in temperature can also cause batteries to become more susceptible to draining and deterioration. Routine battery inspections help maintain the soundness and stability of your battery's power. By checking twice a year during your oil change, you can help prevent further damage and ensure a clean battery area.

A battery’s lifespan will depend on several factors like weather and frequency of use. On average, a battery can last five or more years.
Most manufacturers recommend that you get your battery tested at least twice per year. In colder areas, battery fluctuations and drainage are more common so it’s important to inspect your battery before and after winter.
Batteries can be damaged or drained when you leave your lights on, if intense weather fluctuations occur, if there is ongoing corrosive damage, in the presence of charging issues, and more.

In most instances, driving will recharge the battery fully in 1-2 hours, unless there is an issue with the vehicle. If your vehicle does not restart after driving it, you should have your vehicle towed to the nearest Certified Service expert to have a diagnosis performed.
The best thing that you can do is have your Certified Service technician, like those in the Twin Falls Chevrolet Service Center, perform a test on your battery when you get your oil changed. This helps monitor the status of the battery and helps prevent you from being in a situation where your vehicle won't start.
