No hesitation whatsoever while starting.


Still the original battery (built in 2015) on my 2016 SS
Wow, 10 years on an OEM battery, and in a hot climate. My last five new cars the OEM battery went within a few months of their 5th birthday. I know people out here in AZ who consider battery replacement at three years to be routine maintenance.
