Why doesn’t my Lynx battery stay charged?

A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.

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.

What is the white, crusty stuff around my Lynx’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 Lynx 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.

What do I do about corrosion on my Lynx car battery?

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 Lynx owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
