Why won't my 9-3 battery stay charged?

Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my dead 9-3 battery?

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Saab 9-3?

How long is a car battery good for?

You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my 9-3’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around 9-3 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.

What do I do about corrosion on my 9-3 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 9-3 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
