Commonly Asked XK8 Battery Questions

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have a XK8-specific battery question, visit your nearest store. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why doesn’t my XK8 battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old XK8 battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  •  How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Jaguar XK8? You can find affordable XK8 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 long is a car battery good for? A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my XK8’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your XK8’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your XK8, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my XK8 vehicle battery? Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock. Always reference and follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to disconnecting the battery cables.
