Sounds like it's time to do some battery shopping.

 

[KParsons]

yes

i had the battery on low charge all day. it will not get to full charge. must be sulfated. the stock bat. has a 750cc rating a 1000 or 1100cc would be a better way to go. k

Just replaced mine. My 06' was an early build. Bought it in Oct 05'. My batteries were over 6yrs old. Batteries were getting slow to crank. New ones are 850 CCA

I just replaced mine at the end of November, so they were about 6 years old ('05 build date). I put in the Costco ones that are 950, I believe. More than stock whatever the case.

I am running Sears Platinum P-2's, which are a re-badged Odyssey's and have 930 CCAs.

Went to Sam's club to replace my 06 batteries last month. The Duracell are rebadged Deca's with more CCA than stock, 3 year replacement and $86 a piece. I am very satisfied with them and would buy them again in a minute.

They are Cat branded, not sure who actually makes them.

They are Cat branded, not sure who actually makes them.

Deca also makes CAT batteries.

They are a reliable manufacturer, still made in the USA.

Just replaced my oem batteries yesterday with the Duracell batteries from Sam's Club. I got a quote from the dealer for $155. 00 each with a 5 year pro rate, no free replacement period. He said they increased the cca to 800 or 850.

The only number I couldn't find on the Duracell batteries regardless of where I looked was the reserve capacity. The oem batteries have a RC of 150.
