Commonly Asked Topaz Battery Questions

Get answers to common car battery questions, from Firestone Complete Auto Care. If you have a Topaz-specific battery question, stop by your nearest store. Our technicians are happy to help.

  • Why won't my Topaz 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 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 nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old Topaz battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Mercury Topaz’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Mercury Topaz batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Topaz’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Topaz 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 remove corrosion from my Topaz car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Topaz’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.
