Top tC Car Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have a tC-specific battery question, visit your nearest store. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why doesn’t my tC battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery might be 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 happens to my old tC battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Scion tC’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? You can find affordable tC 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.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my tC’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your tC’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 tC, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my tC vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your tC’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.
