Why doesn’t my Ranger battery stay charged?

A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Ford Ranger?

Ford Ranger batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.

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.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Ranger’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 Ranger 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 corrosion off my Ranger vehicle battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Ranger 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.
