Buying a Replacement Battery for Volvo 245

Sadly, your Volvo 245 won't last forever. Neither will its battery. The average car battery lasts three to five years.

A sluggish engine start, an illuminated check engine light or battery signal, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, or weak lights may all indicate that your battery needs attention.

  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my 245’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your 245, 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 245’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my 245 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.
