  • Why doesn’t my 6000 battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open 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 do you do with my dead 6000 battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.

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? 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? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your 6000 car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my 6000 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 6000 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
