How long can I expect my car battery to last?

Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Patriot’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Patriot, 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 Patriot’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

What do I do about corrosion on my Patriot 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 Patriot owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.

Buy the Right Battery for Your Jeep Patriot

Sadly, your Jeep Patriot 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 Patriot stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A slow engine crank, a blinking battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corrosion-covered posts, or dim headlights may all indicate that your battery is on its last leg.
