The keyless wouldnt work anymore, very sluggish. It was slow on the start to start. Went to autozone, and got a new battery. Works fine again.

Did that fix issues?.. Mines acting up also

W4rMach1ne · 02-12-2016, 07:39 AM

yes

Mine only lasted about 3 years. I bought the top of the line battery and put it in there.

Lil' Nasty · 02-12-2016, 10:20 AM

Yep, had to replace mine around the same time. Although I believe Kaufmann tire jump started my batteries death by doing something during the alignment check.

That's a good haul. Mine was going strong at 6+ years this winter and I replaced it preemptively to avoid problems. Only issue I was noticing was a sluggish start sometimes.

Did the same on mine yesterday, had the original battery for 6 years but the voltage was under 12 in the mornings. Went ahead and replaced it before I got left stranded on the side of the road again.

took my car to a mechanic today, and he said I soon due for a battery change as well. What batteries did you guys/OP go for- just curious? I went to the dealer today for some minor purchases, and decided to price the battery. The salesman at chevy said $175 is that fair? to much?

My mechanic said I dont need to go to the dealer for a battery. Autozone would be fine, and said the interstate brand is good. Thoughts?

Apologies if Im thread jacking OP

W4rMach1ne · 03-18-2016, 06:31 PM

Autozone was 180 with a $20 mail in rebate. It came with three year no hassle warranty and two more years with credit toward new battery.

Eddiefuzz · 03-18-2016, 06:35 PM

I bought one on AMAZON for about $125 delivered.

Ventmaster · 03-21-2016, 11:53 AM

Anyone tried the light weight Braille battery?

I expect mine'll be going soon too and thought if there was any good feedback I'd try that one.

Any thoughts/opinions?

Coming up on 7 yrs this summer.

Got 9 yrs out of previous GM car.

Simple trick, turn everything off before shutting down car.

I bought a Diehard Battery and my car starts just fine.
