Why won’t my Ion battery hold a charge?

A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the lights on overnight. Stop in for a free battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my dead Ion battery?

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

How much will replacing my Saturn Ion’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

Saturn Ion batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.

What is the average lifespan of a car battery?

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 Ion’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Ion’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 Ion, 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 Ion car battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Ion’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
