Why won’t my Freestar battery hold a charge?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

What happens to my old Freestar battery?

How much will replacing my Ford Freestar’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

How often should I replace my car battery?

You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Freestar’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Freestar’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 Freestar, 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 clean a corroded Freestar 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 Freestar owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
