  • What is the average lifespan of a 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 K1500’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 K1500 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 a corroded K1500 battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your K1500’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
