Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A slow engine crank, a blinking battery or check engine light, bloated battery case, corrosion-covered posts, or faded headlights can all signal that your battery is waving goodbye.

  • Why won’t my 318is battery hold a charge? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old.

  • What happens to my old 318is battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for BMW 318iss? BMW 318is 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.
  • How often should I replace my car battery? 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 318is’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 318is’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 318is, 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 clean a corroded 318is battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your 318is’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.
