Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

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.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my D250’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your D250, 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 D250’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

What do I do about corrosion on my D250 car battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your D250 owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
