  • Why doesn’t my 550i battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old 550i battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my BMW 550i’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? You can find affordable 550i batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? 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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my 550i’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your 550i, 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 550i’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my 550i 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 550i 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.
