Why won't my Malibu battery stay charged?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the lights on overnight. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

What do you do with my dead Malibu battery?

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

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.

What is the white, crusty stuff around my Malibu’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Malibu’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 Malibu, 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 Malibu car battery?

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