What is the average lifespan of a car battery?

You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my E-250 Econoline’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 E-250 Econoline 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 remove corrosion from my E-250 Econoline car battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your E-250 Econoline’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
