What is the average lifespan of a car battery?

Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.

Why is there white, flaky stuff around my i-MiEV’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your i-MiEV, 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 i-MiEV’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I remove corrosion from my i-MiEV 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 i-MiEV owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
