What’s the Warranty on a Honda Battery?

The battery is one of the most crucial parts of any car, truck, or SUV, serving a variety of important functions. It provides the energy necessary to start your vehicle; it acts as a surge protector for the electronics system; and it delivers power for the short-term use of headlights, radios, and other features. The Honda battery warranty helps protect your battery–and your whole vehicle–for years to come.

Honda Battery Warranty

When you buy a new Honda, your battery will be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. When you buy a replacement battery directly from the automaker, you’ll enjoy a Honda 100-month battery warranty, which covers the battery for nearly eight-and-a-half years!

How to Tell If Your Battery Needs to be Replaced

In general, a car battery has a two- to five-year lifespan, but there are several factors that can impact its longevity. You may need to take advantage of your Honda battery warranty and have the battery replaced more frequently if you drive extensively on a regular basis, drive in extreme weather, or leave your vehicle parked for long periods of time.

How to Extend Battery Life

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to maximize your battery life and performance. First and foremost, turn off all interior and exterior lights after every drive, and get in the habit of double-checking to make sure you’ve done this. The fastest and easiest way to drain a battery is to leave the lights on after you’ve exited your vehicle.

Whenever possible, take longer drives rather than short ones. With shorter drives, the battery may not have time to fully charge, which can result in extra stress and strain.

Finally, take your vehicle in for regular service. Consult your owner’s manual for the recommended service intervals, and follow them closely. The battery will be checked and monitored at every visit to ensure it has adequate charge.
