Why doesn’t my Fit battery stay charged?

A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

What happens to my old Fit battery?

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

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Honda Fit?

You can find affordable Fit batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.

How often should I replace my car battery?

Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Fit’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Fit, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Fit’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I remove corrosion from my Fit 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 Fit owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
