Buy the Right Battery for Your Mazda Tribute

You can pretty much drive your Mazda Tribute until you don't want to anymore. But your Tribute's battery? Don't count on it to last forever. 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 Mazda Tribute stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak.

Top Tribute Car Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Tribute battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Mazda Tributes? You can find affordable Tribute 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.
  • 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.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Tribute’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 Tribute 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 clean a corroded Tribute battery terminal? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Tribute’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.
