Shopping for Cadillac DeVille Car Batteries

Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Cadillac DeVille stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak.

  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my DeVille’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around DeVille car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my DeVille vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your DeVille’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.
