  • What do you do with my dead Tahoe battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Chevrolet Tahoe’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? You can find affordable Tahoe 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.
  •  How long do car batteries 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 substance accumulating on my Tahoe’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Tahoe 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 remove corrosion from my Tahoe 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 Tahoe owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
