UPDATE: i just got my wifes car back from the dealership and it turns out it was the battery for hers. The voltage thats normal for her car is 14.8 volts not 13.4. He said there are 40+ computers and when the voltage is low it causes havoc in the car.
I ended up going to batteries plus, getting a Duracell battery that they installed and warranty for 3 years ago for about $300.
I put in an 850 cca 800 amp battery and the old one (Duracell or something I think) I replaced was a 900cca battery. Old one was h8. I replaced with an h7 because thats what fcp euro said was the right size for my car. That was the issue. Took it out and replaced with and H8 and it was still in limp mode! Got my code reader out and cleared the codes and restarted and everything works great now
When I bought my used bolt from Carvana. I had scheduled a full review at the local Chevy service center/dealership. They confirmed the battery had been recently replaced, other than that perfect condition.
I still prefer Duracell.
How's the Duracell Vs the oem? I have 6 battery to buy (2 per pack) for a similar ups (1300va from apc with same lcd).
I drove a first gen Chevy Volt before I bought my 2022 MYP. I actually loved the Volt but it didn't have much range. The Chevy Volt had about 37 miles of range and my round trip to work and back was 34 miles. I drove that car on all electric 95% of the time.
Duracell [battery] with a 3 year free replacement warranty. Last one failed unusually early, just short of 3 years
FWIW…. I’ve had 3 Duracell batteries and all have died within 3 years of manufacture date, and they have a 2yr warranty.
Never left me stranded besides a dead battery.
