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 Civic’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 Civic 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 Civic car battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Civic’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.
