Answers to Your Explorer Car Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Ford Explorer-specific, visit your nearest store. Our technicians are happy to help.

  • Why won't my Explorer battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the cabin light at night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What do you do with my dead Explorer battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  •  How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Ford Explorer? 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.
  • 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Explorer’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 Explorer 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 Explorer vehicle 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.
