Mileage doesn't matter. Batteries go bad over time and will not last as long in extreme hot climates. Expect anywhere from 3 to 5 years.

Mileage doesn't have anything to do with it. It's time that matters. Most batteries should be replaced after three years. The Optima battery lasts way longer as is the best out there, in my opinion.

Battery deterioration is not really a function of mileage, but of time and the charge/discharge pattern. However, assuming 12,000 miles per annum as average vehicle mileage, you get a rough figure for battery life of between 48,000 and 60,000 miles. But in real life it could be more or less than these figures, as no doubt other 'answerers' will point out.

mileage doesn't make a difference... typically 2 years to 4 years a battery will last.

A battery that is 4 years old or older could go anytime. I would replace a 4 year old battery even if it works. At a cost of $10 to $15 per year, a decent battery is a bargain.

My OEM battery is still cranking the engine fine after 9 years of use. Mileage is only 31,000. I know I am exceeding the average life a great deal. But I am not going to replace it until it really needs to be replaced.

Car batteries are rated for a number of months ranging from 24 to 60. The number of miles shouldn't matter.

Batteries have wildly varying life spans that are affected by many things, such as:
-Cranking power of the battery (stronger ones last longer).
-Climate the battery is used in (very hot and very cold climates shorten battery life).
-Condition of the vehicle's charging system (the less efficiently the charging and starting systems work, the more strain is placed on the battery, causing premature failure).
Generally, as a rule of thumb, you an expect your battery to last more or less the number of months on it's warranty, as long as your car is in good working order and you don't live in the Sahara or Alaska.

mileage depends on how often you drive but if you stat it every day and its a standard battery it should for 3 to 4 yrs in very part of the us.

Mileage does not seem to make much difference.3 to 5 years is average.
