BATTERY FAQs



  • There are many factors that determine the lifespan of a battery, including when your current battery was installed, how often you drive, and where you live. You might not even notice your battery is going dead until it’s too late. Stop by Les Schwab annually to get ahead of any battery problems.

  • Let the professionals at Les Schwab help you choose and install the right battery for your vehicle and needs. Our team of pros uses the latest battery-installation techniques and technology. Our installation comes with free anti-corrosion maintenance and recycling of your old battery.

  • High heat can force some fluid out of the battery vents in the form of a gas. This causes a chemical reaction with the lead and other materials on the battery terminals in the form of corrosion. About half of premature battery failures are caused by loss of battery fluid, reducing efficiency.

  • Yes, cleaning corrosion off the top of your battery once a year can help maintain proper connectivity between the battery and your terminals. Before cleaning your battery and terminals, remember that corrosion is caustic. Always wear gloves and proper eye protection. To remove the corrosion, mix some baking soda in water. Then use a toothbrush to gently scrub the battery terminals and cable clamps with the mixture.
