Top Optima Car Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Optima 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 lights on overnight. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my old Optima battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

  • How often should I replace my car battery? 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 Optima’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 Optima 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 remove corrosion from my Optima car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Optima’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.
