Understanding Lithium-Ion Battery Technology in Modern Vehicles
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized the automotive industry, powering everything from hybrids to full EVs.
How Long Do They Last?
Modern lithium-ion batteries typically last 8-10 years or 100,000-200,000 miles with proper care and maintenance.
Factors Affecting Battery Life
- Temperature extremes (both hot and cold)
- Charging habits and frequency
- Depth of discharge cycles
- Overall battery management system quality
Maximizing Battery Lifespan
Keep your battery between 20-80% charge when possible, avoid extreme temperatures, and use manufacturer-recommended charging equipment.
