agm and flooded can last up 9+ years, checking voltage is not a test of condition only state of charge. A battery @ 12 volt or lower in not necessarily bad, only discharged.
Shorter life is a result of many factors. High heat, short trips, and electrical load. after 3 years find a battery outlet that test for free and have it done once a year. |

my car is exactly 6 month and the other day I forgot to turn off my parking lights and ended up leaving them on for practically 12 hours straight and the car was still able to start as normal that's impressive |

Holy molly, mine is almost 10 years. It is starting to discharge when the car sits for 2 weeks without use, bought a noco charger yesterday. To be fair, I live in a tropical place and I drive 90% of the time on the highway.

Mine is plugged into the outlet below the radio/AC, so I always know where it stands. Last edited by Billfitz; 03-29-2023 at 02:40 PM.. |

Now I'm surprised, I will be very happy if I can make this battery last at least 2 more years

My 2016 delivered in Nov. 2015 has the original battery, so it’s 7 1/2 years old. It’s never given me any trouble.

You can check the battery's state of charge (click on the icon for 12v battery). And you can also check the battery's status at the IBS (intelligent battery sensor) if you click on SENSOR VALUES. You can see examples below:

Same here, both on the original battery and on the new one. Closed circuit (sleeping) current draw alone will take a battery down, quite quickly, without any issues.

On the F30, less than a year.
On the F33, OEM going on 8 years. Both are 2015 models with the F33 build date just a few months before the F30.
