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 Freestar’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 Freestar 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 a corroded Freestar battery terminal?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock. Always reference and follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to disconnecting the battery cables.
