There are tons of factors to consider when looking at a battery to see if it is a good or bad battery. Even a battery that is well taken care of is going to go bad. One of the important aspects of vehicle maintenance is making sure that you have a good battery.
While there are plenty of factors that make a good or bad battery such as having a volt reading of 12.4 and above, there is also the factor of age. If a battery is under 4 years old, then there is a much better chance of it being good as long as you take care of it. A battery that is more than 5 years old will eventually go bad.
We at DCH Subaru of Riverside understand that the mere age of a battery is a good enough reason to change out the battery. Visit us and look at the new batteries we have available.
