Why won’t my F-250 Super Duty battery hold a charge?

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 in for a free battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

What is the average lifespan of a car battery?

Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.

What is the white, crusty stuff around my F-250 Super Duty’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your F-250 Super Duty, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your F-250 Super Duty’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded F-250 Super Duty battery terminal?

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 F-250 Super Duty owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
