Has your car battery ever died on you? If so, you understand how stressful and annoying it can be — especially when stranded on the roadside. The battery in your Toyota is a critical component; it stores and supplies the power to start up the engine and run its many electrical and electronic systems.

Over time, battery efficiency gradually decreases with use and exposure to the elements, affecting its ability to accept and hold charges and start the engine. Consequently, monitoring, maintaining, and replacing your battery when necessary is essential to keep it in optimal condition. But the question is, how long will a car battery last?
