Why doesn’t my 560SEC 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 dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

How long do car batteries last?

A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my 560SEC’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your 560SEC, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your 560SEC’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean corrosion off my 560SEC vehicle battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your 560SEC owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
