  • How often should I replace my car battery? Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories,  how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Legacy’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Legacy’s battery terminals is known as corrosion.

If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my Legacy vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Legacy’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
