Why won't my 6000 battery stay charged?

A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

What do you do with my dead 6000 battery?

We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.

What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Pontiac 6000s?

How often should I replace my 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 6000’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around 6000 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 6000 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 6000 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
