  • Why won’t my 524td battery hold a charge? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What do you do with my dead 524td battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for BMW 524tds? BMW 524td 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 long do car batteries last? 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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my 524td’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your 524td car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my 524td vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your 524td’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.
