How long is a car battery good for?

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 substance accumulating on my F-350’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your F-350, 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-350’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean corrosion off my F-350 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 F-350 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
