Shopping for Chrysler PT Cruiser Car Batteries

Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Chrysler PT Cruiser stranded. Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A lagging starter, an illuminated battery or check engine light, bloated battery case, corroded battery posts, or dim headlights can all be signs that your battery needs attention.

Top PT Cruiser Car Battery Questions

Get answers to common car battery questions, from Firestone Complete Auto Care. If you have a PT Cruiser-specific battery question, visit your nearest store. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why doesn’t my PT Cruiser battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery may be too 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 local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my old PT Cruiser battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  •  How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Chrysler PT Cruiser? Chrysler PT Cruiser batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  • How often should I replace my 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, flaky stuff around my PT Cruiser’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your PT Cruiser’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 PT Cruiser, 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 PT Cruiser car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your PT Cruiser’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.
