Answers to Your 380SE Car Battery Questions

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for answers to all your car battery questions. If you have a 380SE-specific battery question, stop by your nearest store. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why doesn’t my 380SE battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What do you do with my dead 380SE battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Mercedes-Benz 380SE’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Get affordable prices on Mercedes-Benz 380SE batteries by using one of our limited-time battery deals. Plus, all DieHard car batteries come with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  • What is the average lifespan of a 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 substance accumulating on my 380SE’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around 380SE car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
  • How do I clean a corroded 380SE battery terminal? 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 380SE owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
