  • Why doesn’t my 245 battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What do you do with my dead 245 battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.
  • How much will replacing my Volvo 245’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Volvo 245 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.
  • What is the average lifespan of a 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.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my 245’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 245’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your 245, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my 245 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 245 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
