Buy the Right Battery for Your Cadillac DeVille

Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Cadillac DeVille stranded. Look out for symptoms of a faulty car battery. A sluggish engine start, an illuminated check engine light or battery signal, bloated battery case, corroded battery terminals, or dim headlights can all be signs that your battery needs attention.

  • Why doesn’t my DeVille battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery may be too old.

  • How often should I replace my car battery? A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • 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.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my DeVille car battery? 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 DeVille owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
