How to Check If Your Battery Needs Replacing

You don’t need to wait for your car to completely die before checking the battery. Here are a few basic ways to check its health:

Visual Inspection – Look for corrosion around the terminals or swelling in the case.
Voltage Test – Use a multimeter to check the battery. A healthy battery should read 12.6 volts or higher when fully charged.
Load Testing – This simulates how the battery performs under real-world pressure. If voltage drops below 9.6V while cranking, the battery is weak.

Average Lifespan of a Group Size 24 Battery in Canada

Thanks to our unpredictable climate, batteries in Canada tend to wear out faster than in warmer regions. A Group Size 24 battery usually lasts between 3 to 5 years, depending on your driving habits, weather exposure, and how well you maintain it.
