Battery life depends on drive cycles, temperature swings, and how often accessories draw power while the engine is off. If your 2016 Volvo V60 mostly makes short trips around Norwood and Boston traffic, the battery may age faster than one taking longer highway drives. We can test state of health and charging performance, then advise on timing. If you’re near the 4-year mark, consider proactive testing.
