Stock battery just crapped out @ 36,500 miles... Just an FYI

Not as much cold. Lots more humidity. Heat sucks. I hope that helps Derek.

Kirk, I had a similar problem with my 06 supercharged (from factory) Cobalt. This happened once in Utah and again in Virginia. Going aftermarket, and buying a bigger and stronger battery, solved that problem. However, my wife's 07 Cobalt with the 2.4 is over 5 years old and still on the same battery that came with the car when we bought the car brand new.

I know nothing of NC kind sir.

But you know Florida? Hmm...

Well, in NC we got snow, cold winters, ice, etc.

No battery issues at all.

Very much so


I think my first battery lasted 60K, the second not as long but I had other issues.

I just know it's warmer all year round, no snow, and beaches. I do not know that much about it but more then NC or VA

No problem.

I have other issues

This was too easy.

Cannot find where I said this.

 

[domin8]

Hmm, probably because you have issues.

Replaced mine with a Duralast Platinum at 20k miles just in case.

I just bought two of these batteries the other day for my dual battery setup. They are very nice (better than Optima). They are also the same as the Deka Intimidator battery so they are good for aftermarket electronics.
My stock battery took a dump at right under three years and about 25000 miles.

Mine was pretty weak when I bought the truck with 58k miles so I changed it. I'm not sure if that was the original battery or not though.
