How long is a car battery good for?

Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my CL’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your CL, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your CL’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded CL battery terminal?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your CL’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
