  • How long is a car battery good for? 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 Ram 3500’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Ram 3500 car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my Ram 3500 vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Ram 3500’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
