It Finally happened

My OEM AC Delco battery is failing to hold a full charge.

2006 HHR 1LT .2.4L 5spd

12yrs 7mos
202,000 miles
Sat discharged for 6 months in the barn while I waited for time to fix timing chain guide that broke
Discharged several times when headlights left on due to drivers speaker dying and failing to give "lights-on" chime

That was one heck of a battery, and I salute it!

Thumbs up

Congrats on the 12yrs 7mos, You beat my record of 11 years. I recently got a new one after I just felt like I'm not wanting to tempt fate any longer with winter coming..

Mine still held a charge, but I didn't want to find out somewhere my OE battery died. Not big into pushing cars anymore.
