Top Eldorado Car Battery Questions

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have a Eldorado-specific battery question, visit your nearest store. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why won’t my Eldorado battery hold a charge? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old Eldorado battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  •  How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Cadillac Eldorado? Cadillac Eldorado batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  • How often should I replace my car battery? 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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Eldorado’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Eldorado’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Eldorado, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my Eldorado car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Eldorado’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.
