Top Aurora Car Battery Questions

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

  • Why won’t my Aurora battery hold a charge? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What happens to my old Aurora battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Oldsmobile Aurora’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Oldsmobile Aurora 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 is a car battery good for? A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Aurora’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Aurora’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 Aurora, 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 Aurora 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 Aurora 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.
