Why won’t my Legacy battery hold a charge?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my dead Legacy battery?

We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.

What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Subaru Legacys?

Subaru Legacy 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.

How often should I replace my 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.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Legacy’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Legacy, 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 Legacy’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

What do I do about corrosion on my Legacy car battery?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock. Always reference and follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to disconnecting the battery cables.
