Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Ford E-250 Econoline-specific, stop by your nearest store. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why doesn’t my E-250 Econoline battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my dead E-250 Econoline battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

  • 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 E-250 Econoline’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your E-250 Econoline’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 E-250 Econoline, 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 E-250 Econoline 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 E-250 Econoline 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.
