My car battery keeps dying. What should I check?

Car batteries usually last 3 to 5 years, less with hard winters. Many shops and parts stores can test the battery and charging system quickly, which tells you if it is the battery or the alternator.

Before you goNote the battery’s date sticker.
Ask the shop“Can you test the alternator too, not just the battery?”
