Why doesn’t my Vitara battery stay charged?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Suzuki Vitaras?

Suzuki Vitara 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?

You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Vitara’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Vitara 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.

How do I remove corrosion from my Vitara car battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Vitara owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
