Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have a battery question that's unique to your Ford Mustang battery, stop by your nearest store. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why won’t my Mustang battery hold a charge? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my old Mustang battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.

  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Mustang’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Mustang’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 Mustang, 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 Mustang battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Mustang’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
