It was 1996 when i last changed my battery. It's an AC Delco that I got from Costco. So now, it's almost 8 yrs later, and my car seems to start fine. What are the main symptoms that the battery is dying? I think it's about time to replace since I think my battery is going above average lifespan and it is deemed to die soon. i read another thread here that peoples batteries last 2-5 yrs?
I had it checked at Costco when I changed my tires in September, and they told me it has about 3 months left.
i'm in Vancouver, Canada. Winters are not that cold for the last couple of years. Only in the - degrees for a few days each year.
Only problem I notice when I start the car while it's warm, I have to lightly touch the gas pedal for about a second after the engine turns, otherwise it will die off and have to restart.
Thanks!
