  • What happens to my old Sidekick battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.

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? 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 Sidekick’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Sidekick car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Sidekick car battery? To help extend the life of your battery, you should routinely inspect and clean the terminals using a baking soda and water mix, wire brush, and rag. Be sure to disconnect the battery cables before cleaning and check your Sidekick owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
