Honda 100-Month Battery Warranty in Escondido, CA

You probably already know that every new Honda vehicle comes with a “Bumper-to-Bumper” New Vehicle Limited Warranty, covering you (and your Honda battery) for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. If and when you buy a replacement battery from a genuine OEM Honda parts department, you’ll receive the Honda 100-month battery warranty. That’s roughly 8 more years of coverage for your San Diego and Carlsbad drives.

When Should You Replace Your Honda Car Battery?

The average Honda car battery lasts between two to five years, so there’s a pretty good chance that your first replacement will be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.  Although car batteries are generally recharged by the alternator as you drive, all batteries lose the ability to maintain their charge over time. Usually, this takes place over an interval of several years. However, several factors can lead to a shorter lifespan:

• Long Periods without Driving – A battery that’s left to rot will gradually lose its charge, even if it isn’t being used!
• Extreme Weather – A night of extreme heat or cold can take the charge out of a nearly-dead or weakened battery. Over time, extreme heat can also evaporate your battery fluid, leading to a shorter lifespan.
• Frequent Short Trips – Your battery’s charge is consumed whenever you start the car. If you don’t keep it running very long, the alternator won’t be able to recharge it!
