Why won't my Yukon battery stay charged?

A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

What happens to my old Yukon battery?

We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your GMC Yukon?

GMC Yukon 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.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Yukon’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 Yukon 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 Yukon 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 Yukon owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
