Top GL-10 Car Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have a GL-10-specific battery question, visit your nearest store. Our technicians have the answers.

  • Why won’t my GL-10 battery hold a charge? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the lights on overnight. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What happens to my old GL-10 battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Subaru GL-10’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? You can find affordable GL-10 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? 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 GL-10’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your GL-10, 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 GL-10’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my GL-10 car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your GL-10’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.
