Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What happens to my old Tracer battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • How much will replacing my Mercury Tracer’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Mercury Tracer 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.
  •  How long do car batteries last? 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Tracer’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Tracer 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.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Tracer 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 Tracer owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
