How long will a Dodge Ram Battery last?

I just bought my friend’s used Ram 1500 dirt-cheap. It’s only about a year old and has less than 2,000 miles on it. The only thing is, there was some issue with the battery that came in it. How long will a Dodge Ram Battery last?

Dodge RAM 1500
, by the way! It sounds like you got a pretty good deal and it’s in fairly good shape—apart from the battery, of course.
Speaking of which, a Dodge Ram battery will typically last between three and five years.
Since your friend had already been using it regularly for two years, you’ll probably need to start thinking about getting it replaced in another year or so.
And don’t forget, before you can take your new Ram out for a joyride to celebrate, you’ll need to get it insured. Fortunately, that won’t take very long or cost very much—not if you use
