We absolutely do. Of course they degrade over time. But they last much monger than expected. Today they all come with 100,000mile 8-10year warranties.
Of course you can! They're designed to be replaced. Most of them can be swapped out in about an hour at an equipped shop. And the cost (outside of warrantee) is typically about 20-30% the cost of the car. So it's absolutely cheaper to replace the battery than buy new.
Thank you, I didn't know this. But paying 30% of the new car price after they expire sounds awful... But at least it's possible.
