Shopping for Chevrolet S10 Car Batteries

A sluggish engine start, an illuminated check engine light or battery signal, bloated battery case, corrosion-covered posts, or weak lights may all indicate that your battery is waving goodbye.

  • Why won't my S10 battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. It may be getting old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar 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.

  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? 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 S10’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your S10, 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 S10’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my S10 car battery? 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 S10 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
