2011 silverado weak battery?
i have owned a 2009 and 2011 silverado 1500 and since day one on both if i put the radio on and only have the radio on, one click forward on the ignition, in 15-20 minutes the low battery message comes up. is this just due to a cheap factory battery or should i utilize the second spot for a battery under the hood? idk if a nice optima battery would solve this or just putting 2 in it. any input would be great

That is unusual... How old is your battery?
|
it is original iv owned the truck just over a year. its been the same since new. my last truck seems worse and i had it changed 3 times under warranty and they kept telling me my batteries had defective cells
|
5 years is an expected life span of a truck battery, give or take a couple of years.
It wouldn't hut to have your altinator tested to make sure it's FULLY charging your battery. |
i need to take it to the dealer for service anyhow i will have them test it then and go from there
