Currently running a yellow Optima, 3 years and going strong. I don't recall what the OE battery was but it crapped out after 2 years in mild California weather.
Owner reviews for battery
The battery is most likely to outlive the rest of the car. No need to worry. If the car has enough range for your daily need, then keeping it will be the best option.
New battery should be fine for 30 days. I would not have second thoughts this and I manage equipment.
For the last couple years my riding mower has been starting off of the Yuasa battery that I had taken out of my Valkyrie. I took it out because it was 10 years old and I thought I might be pushing my luck with it. I credit using a tender to give me 12+ years on my bike battery plus it\u2019s a quality battery.
I had an older optima yellow top last about 10 years. I miss when that quality was available
Very unlikely to be the starter, though anything is possible. I'd put money on the battery being weak though. Voltage isn't the end all be all, you need to know about the cranking amps.
Battery is dead.
The old GM SUVs have a lot of electrical problems and can run down the battery if not kept charged.
Energizer is a shit battery. I had to put an Energizer one out of no options and that barely lasted a year.
First battery lasted about a year and a half.
Duracell [battery] with a 3 year free replacement warranty. Last one failed unusually early, just short of 3 years
