Buy the Right Battery for Your Jeep J20

Sadly, your Jeep J20 won't last forever. Neither will its battery. The average car battery lasts three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Jeep J20 stranded. Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A slow engine crank, an illuminated battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, or weak lights can all be signs that your battery is waving goodbye.

Top J20 Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my J20 battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the 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 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my J20’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around J20 car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
  • How do I clean a corroded J20 battery terminal? 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.
