Why won't my Maxima battery stay charged?

How often should I replace my 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 Maxima’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Maxima 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 clean corrosion off my Maxima vehicle 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 Maxima owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
