  • Why won’t my Mini Ram battery hold a charge? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What do you do with my old Mini Ram battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Dodge Mini Ram’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Get affordable prices on Dodge Mini Ram batteries by using one of our limited-time battery deals. Plus, all DieHard car batteries come with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  • 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.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Mini Ram’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Mini Ram’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 Mini Ram, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
