battery

Has anyone replaced their lithium Ion battery yet on the E-Assist Buick Lacrosse? It has an 8 year warranty but considerably shorter life span. My battery puts out very little power, yet the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it after simply driving the car. Mine is a 2012 LaCrosse with...

Here's what happened: I was driving from Portland to Spokane for Thanksgiving, and my volt light came on about 2 hours into the 6 hour trip. I wasn't sure what that meant, but it went off again. when it came back on about 10 minutes later, I took the next exit, parked the car, and looked it up...

The battery on my 09 LaCrosse CXL gave up the ghost Wednesday. I did a jump and got it to the parts store and replaced the battery with a new AGM style. On the way to the parts store my battery in the DIC was reading 14.4V. Which I thought was right. Then today just for satisfaction, I look...

Hi all, I have a 2012. Yesterday morning my daughter left the glove box open and the light stayed on for a full 24 hours. It started up fine this morning, should I still be worried about the battery? Will it need to be topped off? I live 10 minutes from work so I didn't drive it too long. Thanks...

My wife's Encore battery decided to kick the bucket, when I went to replace it, I noticed that the tray is way bigger than the battery and that it would be pretty easy to upgrade it. I wasn't sure that their would be a battery available that fit the larger area, but sure enough there is. The...

I bought my 99 PA new. I put at least 3 new batteries in it since. The last one that I installed one year ago is an Interstate. Each time prior to my replacing the battery, I noticed rapidly fluctuating system voltage as indicated by the dashboard instrument package where I can see one at a...

Hi, hope someone can help. I have an '04 park avenue. Love the car but it's making me nuts! Every few days I have to recharge a dead battery. I did a parasitic draw test and found excessive power draw caused by the "HVAC programmer, instrument panel cluster SBM (275 to LCM) (1135 to BTSI SL) "...

Ok so the title pretty much sums it up. Last night I started hearing a growling coming from under the hood, upon inspection it was my alternator. This morning in better light I could see it had tore itself to shreds, bearings laying all over the engine bay. So I called up my local junk yard to...

I have a 2009 Lucerne. Overnight the battery went so dead it wouldn't run the radio. It charged up but it is original so I am replacing it. When I went to remove it under the back seat there was some water in the battery tray. I can't see how it could have gotten there as it is totally inside...

Been searching for the root cause of the wives car overnight loss of battery charge. Have checked most fuses for any amp draw while ignition is off with no luck. Alternator diodes check out good and will be checking starter solenoid and starter for possible amp draw while ignition is off. In...

I have been trying to remedy a overnight battery loss of charge problem. In doing so, I have used a fuse buddy to check for circuits grounding or shorting out while car is off. All accessories switches have been turned off, switches for glove box, trunk, doors, courtesy lights, under hood...

After I got the car battery jumped off it would run for a few days and then not start. Now it won't jump off at all. When I try to start the car I hear the doors lock but that is it. Please help!

Hi! While I drive, I notice that sporadically my battery gauge will go from full to almost empty, the interior lights dim, and the car makes a high pitch squeal noise. It happens anywhere from 5- 15 seconds and then goes back to normal, the light brighten up, and everything is ok. I have no...

My family has a 1991 Buick Century with 259,264 miles on it, and an engine size of 3.3. It had been in the shop for at least three months- the problem was that it refused to start up after we would drive to destinations. We would have to let it sit for awhile before we could start it and leave...

Hi, first time poster here. I have a probolem with my 1994 RML sedan. My battery has drained overnight and I have isolated the problem to the Body II 60 amp fuse (located in the under the hood panel). Does anyone have a listing of all of the systems that this fuse controls? I have already...
