When I bought my HHR they had to jump start it to get it going for the test drive, also the HHR in the showroom had a dead battery as well. So far in the 30 days since I took it home, it's been okay. I saw in the Onstar or Owners manual where Onstar shuts off after 5 days to so it won't kill the battery. Guess that doesn't kill all of the battery draw.....

I picked up my HHR it was fine for one day the next day I had to jump it to go to work when I left work I had to jump it to go to Chevy dealer and as I was waiting for the mechanic to take it in to the shop they had to jump to get it in there , since they put a new battery in it's been fine . Nothing wrong with Delco battery's ?

I've had my 2009 Panel for about 10 months now and have already had to replace the battery. It would no longer hold a charge
It was covered under warrenty and replaced with a new AC Delco at the dealer. That was just two weeks ago so I'm hoping this one will last.

I was in sale in the industrial batteris worked for Exide 13 years and GNB for 8 years their automobile batteris are junk no more cast grids they are pressed like cookie cutters, Sears AGM is great if you dont know what AGM is look into what it is.

(Not from the HHR, but still...)

I bought a battery for my Lumina bout 2 years ago.... Went to start the car and the battery was dead just from sitting since May..... Not cool. It was an "off brand" from Auto Value. Hopefully it'll hold the charge again once it gets driven, but usually once you run it dead it just isn't the same...

tried to unbolt the battery cable in the engine compt. would not budge went to the chevy dealer they would not do for legal reasons the factory uses the strongest lock-tight, so i will have to take the cable off of the battery under the spare tire, all i want to do is add a performance chip.

My 2006 HHR battery is 4 years old. I'm toying with idea of replacing it now since we're going into winter. (Indiana). I see that the replacement battery is a 6 year battery. Should the original battery be expected to last that long ? Should I wait till it dies or bite the bullett now and replace it ?
