Buying a Replacement Battery for Ford Mustang

Sadly, your Ford Mustang won't last forever. Neither will its battery. Generally, car batteries last from three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Ford Mustang stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A lagging starter, an illuminated battery or check engine light, bloated battery case, corroded battery terminals, and subpar electrical performance can all be signs that your battery is waving goodbye.

  • Why won't my Mustang battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old.

Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

  •  How long do car batteries last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Mustang’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Mustang 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 remove corrosion from my Mustang car battery? You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Mustang owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
