What’s the Warranty on a Honda Battery?

Honda has built their reputation on reliability, so it’s a given that when you purchase a new Honda vehicle you’ll enjoy a number of protections, including the Honda battery warranty. When you purchase a new Honda, the original battery will be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which is valid for 3 years or 36,000 miles. If it comes time to replace your Honda battery, and you purchase another battery directly from Honda, you’ll receive a Honda battery warranty for 100 months, or about 8 years.

When Should I Replace My Battery?

For most vehicles, the battery will last an average of 2 to 5 years before needing to be replaced. Lifespan varies though, as factors like extreme weather conditions, driving patterns, and regular use will impact your battery’s performance. If a vehicle is left sitting over long periods, that can also impact the battery as it will lose charge over time and make the vehicle harder to start. Repeatedly draining your battery will impact its lifespan. 

Tips for Extending Your Honda Battery Lifespan

As with most vehicle parts and systems, regular care and maintenance can help extend the life of your battery. The steps you can take to preserve your Honda battery include:

• Performing regular maintenance – During regular maintenance and service visits, one of our certified technicians can check your battery to ensure it looks good and is maintaining its charge. 
• Turning off lights at the end of your drive – Make sure you don’t accidentally leave your vehicle lights on when exiting your car. This will unnecessarily drain your battery. You’ll also want to avoid using electronics while you’re idle, as that makes the battery work harder. 
• Avoiding short rides – When you make a quick trip, your car battery doesn’t have much time to fully charge. Especially sudden temperature spikes in Newburgh, this can put extra strain on the battery.
