Commonly Asked Focus Battery Questions

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

  • Why won't my Focus battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery may be too 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 nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What do you do with my old Focus battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Ford Focus’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? 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 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 Focus’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Focus’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 Focus, 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 Focus 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 Focus owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
