2021 Kia Soul Battery
Your 2021 Kia Soul battery will typically last between 3 to 5 years, but that can differ greatly depending on battery size, type of battery, weather conditions and driving habits. Even still, just because your battery isn't completely dead, doesn't mean it's operating correctly. For that reason, it is immensely critical to have your battery examined every time you visit a service center. Hopefully, you're a client of Nalley Kia and you will always receive a free multi-point check of your car during every service visit. Inspecting your battery and battery cables is part of this process.
