* Battery type and quality: The original battery and any replacements will vary in quality and lifespan. A higher-quality battery will generally last longer.
* Climate: Extreme hot or cold temperatures significantly impact battery life. Heat degrades batteries faster.
* Driving habits: Short trips don't allow the battery to fully recharge, shortening its life.
* Vehicle's electrical system: Problems with the alternator or other electrical components can drain the battery and reduce its lifespan.
* Maintenance: Regular battery maintenance, like terminal cleaning, can extend its life.
Generally, a car battery lasts 3-5 years under normal conditions. However, a 2007 Charger battery could be anywhere from completely worn out (if it's the original) to relatively new, depending on its age and the factors listed above. You should check the battery's date code (usually stamped on the battery case) to estimate its age. A load test at an auto parts store will give you the best indication of its current health.
