Buy the Right Battery for Your Audi 5000

Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A lagging starter, an illuminated battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corrosion-covered posts, and subpar electrical performance can all signal that your battery is on its last leg.

Top 5000 Car Battery Questions

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Audi 5000-specific, stop by your nearest store. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why doesn’t my 5000 battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old 5000 battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.

  • How often should I replace my car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my 5000’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 5000’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your 5000, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my 5000 car battery? To help extend the life of your battery, you should routinely inspect and clean the terminals using a baking soda and water mix, wire brush, and rag. Be sure to disconnect the battery cables before cleaning and check your 5000 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
