What Is the Warranty on a Honda Battery?

All of the vehicles in the new Honda lineup come with valuable warranty coverage, so you can drive with confidence when you’re out on the Waterbury and Torrington roads. Not only that, but in addition to the new car warranty, Honda also provides coverage on genuine Honda OEM parts, including batteries. So what is the Honda battery warranty and what does it entail?

Honda Battery Warranty

• The original battery that is installed in your new Honda vehicle is covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
• A replacement battery purchased from an authorized Honda dealer like Honda of Watertown comes with a warranty that provides coverage for 100 months. This includes free replacement and installation in the first 36 months if the battery is found to be defective. For the remaining 64 months, you are entitled to receive a credit towards the purchase of a new battery based on current retail prices at the time.

When Does a Car Battery Need To Be Replaced?

On average, a car battery lasts anywhere from 2 to 5 years, so you can safely assume that the Honda 100-month battery warranty will cover the life of the battery. However, things like how and where you drive, extreme hot or cold weather conditions, how often the car is jump started, and how often the car is driven all impact how well the battery can hold a charge.

Honda Hybrid Battery Maintenance

Alternatively, hybrid vehicle maintenance is just as important. Probably more so given how much your vehicle relies on the battery that powers it. So what does the Honda car battery warranty look like for a hybrid car? You can expect a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on your new hybrid. So if you ever wondered, “Does Honda warranty cover battery needs?” then the answer would be yes. Set aside those worries and enjoy the drive around Waterbury!

How Can I Extend the Life of My Car Battery?

Keeping up with scheduled maintenance is the best way to get the most out of the Honda 100-month battery warranty. During routine service, our certified technicians will inspect your Honda battery, make sure that the terminals are free of corrosion, and check that it carries a full charge. The following tips can help to extend the life of your car battery:

• Make sure to turn off the headlights after you exit your vehicle.
• Don’t use in-car electronics when the vehicle is idling, since that makes the battery work harder.
• Avoid short, quick drives, which don’t give the battery enough time to fully recharge.
