Why won't my Jetta battery stay charged?

What do you do with my dead Jetta battery?

What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Volkswagen Jettas?

Volkswagen Jetta 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 stuff around my Jetta’s battery post?

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

What do I do about corrosion on my Jetta 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 Jetta 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.
