Replace it regularly instead! Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A slow engine crank, a blinking battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, or weak lights can all signal that your battery needs attention.

Answers to Your Focus Car Battery Questions

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Ford Focus-specific, pay us a visit. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why doesn’t my Focus battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. 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 do you do with my dead Focus battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.
  •  How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Ford Focus? You can find affordable Focus batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.
  • 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.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Focus’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Focus car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
  • How do I clean a corroded Focus 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 Focus owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
