Why won’t my G1500 battery hold a charge?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

What happens to my old G1500 battery?

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your GMC G1500?

GMC G1500 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?

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.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my G1500’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 G1500 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.

What do I do about corrosion on my G1500 car battery?

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 G1500 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
