Replace it regularly instead! Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A slow engine crank, an illuminated battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corrosion-covered posts, or faded headlights can all be signs that your battery needs attention.

  • Why won’t my XLR battery hold a charge? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the cabin light at night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my dead XLR battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.

  • How often should I replace my car battery? Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories,  how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my XLR’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your XLR’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 XLR, 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 clean a corroded XLR battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your XLR’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.
