Why won't my 960 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 in for a free battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

What do you do with my old 960 battery?

How much will replacing my Volvo 960’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

Volvo 960 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?

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 960’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your 960, 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 960’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean corrosion off my 960 vehicle 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 960 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
