Why won’t my Silhouette battery hold a charge?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night.

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, flaky stuff around my Silhouette’s battery post?

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

How do I clean corrosion off my Silhouette 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 Silhouette owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
