Shopping for Buick Riviera Car Batteries

Your Riviera doesn't have an expiration date, but its battery does. Generally, car batteries last from three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Buick Riviera stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A sluggish engine start, an illuminated battery or check engine light, bloated battery case, corrosion-covered posts, and subpar electrical performance can all signal that your battery needs attention.

  • Why won’t my Riviera battery hold a charge? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old.

  • 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, flaky stuff around my Riviera’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 Riviera 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 a corroded Riviera battery terminal? 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 Riviera owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
