Why won't my V70 battery stay charged?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What happens to my old V70 battery?

What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Volvo V70s?

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.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my V70’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your V70, 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 V70’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded V70 battery terminal?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your V70’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
