Buying a Replacement Battery for Hyundai Sonata

You can pretty much drive your Hyundai Sonata until you don't want to anymore. But your Sonata's battery? Don't count on it to last forever. On average, auto batteries last anywhere from three to five years. Don’t get stranded by your Sonata’s car battery. Replace it regularly instead! Look out for symptoms of a faulty car battery. A sluggish engine start, an illuminated battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corrosion-covered posts, and subpar electrical performance may all indicate that your battery is on its last leg.

  • Why doesn’t my Sonata 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 may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

  •  How long do car batteries last? You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Sonata’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 Sonata 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 clean a corroded Sonata battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Sonata’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.
