Buy the Right Battery for Your GMC Safari

Sadly, your GMC Safari won't last forever. Neither will its battery. Generally, car batteries last from three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your GMC Safari stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A lagging starter, an illuminated check engine light or battery signal, bloated battery case, corroded battery posts, or weak lights may all indicate that your battery is on its last leg.

Top Safari Car Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Safari battery hold a charge? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What happens to my old Safari battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • How much will replacing my GMC Safari’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? GMC Safari 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 can I expect my car battery to last? 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 Safari’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Safari car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Safari car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Safari’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
