Top Prelude Car Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Honda Prelude-specific, pay us a visit. Our technicians are happy to help.

  • Why won’t my Prelude battery hold a charge? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old Prelude battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Honda Prelude’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Get affordable prices on Honda Prelude batteries by using one of our limited-time battery deals. Plus, all DieHard car batteries come with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  • How long is a car battery good for? 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 stuff around my Prelude’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Prelude, 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 Prelude’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Prelude car battery? You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Prelude owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
