  • 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, flaky stuff around my K2500 Suburban’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around K2500 Suburban car battery terminals is called corrosion.
