Commonly Asked A6 Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Audi A6-specific, visit your nearest store. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why won't my A6 battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What do you do with my dead A6 battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • How much will replacing my Audi A6’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Audi A6 batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my A6’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your A6’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 A6, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my A6 car battery? You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your A6 owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
