Could your 2001 Chevrolet Express 1500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Express 1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Express 1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
