Weak Batteries??

Anyone else have trouble with your battery holding a charge??

I have been working on my stereo lately...and if I leave the ignition on
(without starting it) for more than 5-6 minutes - it drains the battery and
wont even turn over. 

I wonder if I have a crappy battery or if the charging system is that weak??

Thanks.

Could be a bad battery, but...
Was the truck doing this BEFORE you started work on the stereo?  Even if you goofed something on the stereo work (not sure what you were doing) it should either blow a fuse if incorrectly wired, melt some wires (you'd notice), or certainly last longer than a few minutes!  Probably should have you dealer test it!

Mine has done this twice.  I got a new battery and so far it seems ok.

I've had my battery replaced TWICE under WARRANTY. Went and bought an Optima Yellow Top. No probs since!

I've heard that those Optima Yellow are excellent!   If I have the problem again that's what I'm going to od too.

The only work I did to the stereo was to unplug the stock one and plug in a new 6-disc OEM deck.
So...I dont think I could have damaged anything.

But I have had this problem prior to installing the new deck.

I think its a weak battery...I guesss I should make an appointment at the dealer.

Thanks for the responses.

AC Delco batteries are junk when they are new.  Worse after you start the vehicle a few times with it.[:'(]

Ya, i have heard nothing but praise about the Optima Yellow Top!!

jobenshain -> RE: Weak Batteries?? (3/14/2007 1:19:04 PM)

Went into the dealer...the battery tested bad...so they replaced.  Seems better - so far...

We will see..

Yah the GM battery sucks the big one.  I have 4 or 5 dead batteries over 6 months from leaving the Sirius on over night. Or just parked with tunes turned on for  1 1/2 hours

BTW got the Optima for free.... Dealer have me a 300 dollar voucher for filling out a survey when I bought the H3 last Aug
