  • How often should I replace my car battery? 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Spectra’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 Spectra 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.

Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
