What is the average lifespan of a car battery?

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, flaky stuff around my Galant’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Galant’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Galant, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I clean a corroded Galant battery terminal?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Galant 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.

Shopping for Mitsubishi Galant Car Batteries

Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Mitsubishi Galant stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A slow engine crank, an illuminated battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corroded battery terminals, or faded headlights may all indicate that your battery needs attention.
