2004 Vue V6 AWD
FYI,
14,000 miles, less than one year old and the battery fails. Saturn just replaced it under warranty but, so much for AC Delco parts! |

The dealer needed to jump it to make it run. Sat in the lot so long with the dealer's alarm on it the battery was fully dead. No doubt the buyer of that truck has had a new battery since then. Fwiw, my car batteries only last 2 years in the heat of CA central valley. I even went through 3 Wal-Mart Super Cranks in one year on same vehicle. They just don't make them like they used to. Smaller batteries = closer plates, and they seem to short out with all the potholes around here. B~ |

You guys just made me think.....I realize that I've never changed the
battery in my '99 F150...Has never even given a shred of evidence that it's crapping out. But of course, now that I said that.... Have a '94 Saturn SL2 with the same battery I replaced the stock one in '96 with...That one's a Die-Hard... 8-9 years out of a battery's not to bad, is it? Scott "B.
