Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have a Explorer-specific battery question, pay us a visit. Our technicians are happy to help.

  • Why doesn’t my Explorer battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What happens to my old Explorer battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • How much will replacing my Ford Explorer’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Get affordable prices on Ford Explorer 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 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 Explorer’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Explorer’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 Explorer, 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 Explorer 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 Explorer owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
