Why doesn’t my XT5 battery stay charged?

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 lights on overnight. Stop by for a complimentary 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 XT5 battery?

We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Cadillac XT5s?

You can find affordable XT5 batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.

What is the average lifespan of a 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.

Why is there white, flaky stuff around my XT5’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your XT5, 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 XT5’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded XT5 battery terminal?

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 XT5 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.

Where can I find a battery for my XT5?

You can shop for XT5 batteries at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care, and our expert technicians will even handle the installation. Don’t have time to visit our store? Our Firestone Direct mobile vans can come to you for battery installations! Learn more about our mobile battery services.
