How long can I expect my car battery to last?

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.

What is the white, crusty stuff around 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.

What do I do about corrosion on 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.

Shopping for Chevrolet S10 Car Batteries

Your S10 doesn't have an expiration date, but its battery does. Generally, car batteries last from three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Chevrolet S10 stranded. Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A slow engine crank, an illuminated battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, or dim headlights can all signal that your battery is waving goodbye.
