Why doesn’t my SC1 battery stay charged?

A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

What do you do with my old SC1 battery?

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

How much do DieHard batteries cost for your Saturn SC1?

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 SC1’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your SC1, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your SC1’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I remove corrosion from my SC1 car battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your SC1’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.
