Why won’t my Catera battery hold a charge?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

How much will replacing my Cadillac Catera’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

How long can I expect my car battery to 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 stuff around my Catera’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Catera, 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 Catera’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded Catera battery terminal?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Catera 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.
