Commonly Asked Tempo Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Ford Tempo-specific, pay us a visit. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why doesn’t my Tempo battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What do you do with my old Tempo battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • How much will replacing my Ford Tempo’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Ford Tempo 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 long do car batteries 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, flaky stuff around my Tempo’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 Tempo 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 remove corrosion from my Tempo 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 Tempo 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.
