Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Volvo XC70. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Volvo XC70 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XC70 stranded. Your Volvo XC70 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
