Why doesn’t my T1000 battery stay charged?

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 cabin light at night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my old T1000 battery?

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

How much will replacing my Pontiac T1000’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

What is the average lifespan of a 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, crusty buildup on my T1000’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your T1000’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 T1000, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

What do I do about corrosion on my T1000 car battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your T1000 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.
