Why won’t my 323 battery hold a charge?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

What do you do with my dead 323 battery?

We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Mazda 323?

You can find affordable 323 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.

What is the average lifespan of a car battery?

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, flaky stuff around my 323’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 323’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 323, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

What do I do about corrosion on my 323 car 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.
