Never had a battery fail on me yet. The reason? I think proper maintenance is the key here. Always keep your battery water level at the recommended level, don't use battery water that has been opened already and stored for a few weeks/months. Clean the terminals of the battery and the cable terminals everytime you service your car. Clean the exterior of the battery when there's oil on it or whatever to prevent it from over heating. </p><p></p><p>Make sure you use the correct battery when you change. A small battery in a car which was designed for a bigger battery will definitely be overworked.</p></blockquote><p></p>
