Why doesn’t my C3500 battery stay charged?

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 been leaving your car doors ajar and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my old C3500 battery?

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Chevrolet C3500?

Chevrolet C3500 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.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my C3500’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around C3500 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 C3500 vehicle battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your C3500’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.
