Why won't my Shadow battery stay charged?

A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my dead Shadow battery?

We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

How much will replacing my Dodge Shadow’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

You can find affordable Shadow 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 often should I replace my car battery?

A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Shadow’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Shadow’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 Shadow, 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 clean corrosion off my Shadow vehicle battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Shadow 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.

Where can I find a battery for my Shadow?

You can shop for Shadow batteries at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care, and our expert technicians will even handle the installation. Don’t have time to visit our store? Our Firestone Direct mobile vans can come to you for battery installations! Learn more about our mobile battery services.
