Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have a S10-specific battery question, stop by your nearest store. Our technicians are happy to help.

  • Why won't my S10 battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What happens to my old S10 battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Chevrolet S10s? You can find affordable S10 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? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my S10’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around S10 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 a corroded S10 battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your S10’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.
