Car Battery
 
How long does an average car battery last (for a Jeep Grand Laredo) - mine just lasted approx 18 months until this morning (just when i needed to be on time for a meeting !!)

There was also another thread which I started only a few weeks earlier on exactly the same subject.

Many batteries now come with a 2 year manufacturers warranty (should last around 4/5 years)

1-2 years depending on your car, and how long it's parked in the sun and how often you drive you might get away with 3 years.

Decided to go for US brand (Al Delco) for now to see how long this lasts - otherwise its back to German models
