Now one year later the slow start problem is back. Do you guys think a higher cranking power battery is the answer to the slow cranking?

its not the battery. check for loose battery cables at battery and fuse box. check all grounds too.

Sorry OP for the thread jack. I jumped in because I'm frustrated with the slow starts and the potential of the OEM battery being in the issue. My replacement OEM battery cranked well for a year but now not so much.

it was comon and i think there was a TSB on the 16s wit hard start issue. if they replaced the battery for it might be a documented issue. it could still be under warranty.

The battery gauge, while driving, is supposed to vary between ~12.5 and 14-15.......Just the fact that it drops to 12, does not mean there's something wrong.
If I do a bunch of short drives over a few days (less than 10-15 min), my voltage gauge starts to hover at 14-15. To me, this indicates the battery Charge has been depleted by the repeated starts and short drives. Then I'll do a nice long drive and it will start at 14-15 and then drop down to about ~12.5 eventually. I think this indicates the battery is almost fully charged. |

I need to replace mine in my 2016 SS. Car died 5 times in stop and go at low rpm. gauges started dying at heavy throttle. I'm getting zero juice when the alternator isn't spinning.
Is this the correct one? https://www.impactbattery.com/norths...m48-l3-h6.html |

I'm over 53k miles on my 17 SS. Its my daily driver. That puts it at 5 years old and still going strong. How long do these batteries last? Do they give you plenty warning before failing?

I just replaced the OEM battery in my '16. Not because it showed signs of dying either, simply because I thought 6-7 years was a good run. Who knows how long it would have really lasted. I just got another AC Delco Battery. Why not, the last one did me just fine.

As to "expected" battery life: 3-7 years. Not at all predictable where you will end up in that range. |
