Answers to Your 911 Car Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have a 911-specific battery question, stop by your nearest store. Our technicians are happy to help.

  • Why won’t my 911 battery hold a charge? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my old 911 battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.
  •  How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Porsche 911? You can find affordable 911 batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to 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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my 911’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 911 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.
  • How do I clean a corroded 911 battery terminal? 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 911 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
