How long does a car battery last and how do you replace it if it's in an inconvenient location?

I'm wondering how many years or miles a car battery will last before it will need to be replaced. Also, if the car's battery is located under the passenger's seat, would just any mechanic be able to do the job? Is it a good idea to replace the battery before a failure occurs rather than when it occurs?How long does a car battery last and how do you replace it if it's in an inconvenient location?I think it's supposed to be about 5 years. Mine usually last a little longer. It's not a huge deal when it goes bad. Keep some jumper cables with you. If it can be jumped and then continues to run, it's the battery, not the alternator, which is good. Then just change the battery. If the battery is under the passenger's seat, do a quick search for replacing it. Not hard or really dangerous. One of the easiest things to do really.

If you have no more money or insist on 5 years,you'd better pay attention to your battery and prepare a spare one.
