Car batteries typically last between three to five years, but a variety of factors can shorten their lifespan.
Leaving headlights or interior lights on is one of the most common reasons for a flat battery, especially in older vehicles without automatic shutoff systems.
Cold weather, corrosion on terminals, short trips that don’t allow for full recharging, and faulty electrical components can also drain batteries and cause them to wear out earlier than expected.
A flat battery can be frustrating, but don’t panic. First, make sure you and your vehicle are in a safe location, away from moving traffic.
Once you're safe, you can take the next steps:
For a fast solution to a flat car battery, call 1300 726 751. If you're an NRMA Member, a mobile battery specialist can come to you anywhere in Sydney to test, jump-start or replace your battery on the spot.
Even if you’re not a member, NRMA can still help. You’ll just pay a small one-off call-out fee.
If your vehicle doesn’t respond to a jump-start, your car battery may be beyond recovery. Most batteries last between three to five years, but issues like age, extreme temperatures, and short driving habits can reduce that lifespan. You can request a replacement battery on the spot or book at a time that suits you.

Knowing you have a battery in good condition will give you peace of mind before road trips, holidays or seasonal weather changes. It’s worth booking a health check if you know your battery is more than a couple of years old.
While a budget car or truck battery might seem like a money-saving option upfront, it can often lead to unexpected costs and inconvenient breakdowns. Cheaper batteries are often constructed with lower-quality materials, resulting in reduced performance, shorter lifespans, and limited compatibility with modern vehicles, particularly those with complex electrical systems or stop-start technology, such as cars and trucks.
Poor-quality batteries may also fail to deliver the cold-cranking power required during colder months or under heavy loads, making them unreliable when you need them most. In some cases, they may even damage sensitive onboard electronics if they are not correctly matched or installed.
With the NRMA, you get more than just a battery, you get professional service, nationwide support, and peace of mind. All NRMA car batteries are selected because they meet Australian standards and come backed by nationwide warranties.
Installation is handled by qualified NRMA patrols who take care of everything from correct terminal connection to battery registration, which is essential for many modern vehicles to operate efficiently.
In the long run, investing in a high-quality battery with proper installation will save you time, stress and money, ensuring your vehicle stays on the road, reliably and safely.
