Re: Battery died....
my rig has a slight pause when I crank it up. Does that sound like I'm going to need one soon? I looked at the battery and it was showing a dim green light on it. IS it starting to go bye- bye??

Re: Battery died....
when you start your hummer, and the clock is reset, it means your battery is about to crap out

My battery did this just before it died on me, went off roading the day before the battery was fine, the next day battery had a slight pause to it , did a few start up's and then it was dead in my drive way. not much warning to it.
this is the third battery for the truck, this time I went with the Sears Interstate Battery ( Heavy Duty) . Battery was like $ 130.00
The dealership wanted $ 300.00 for a new battery from them,  I thinking holy crap, what is it, made out of gold! |

Re: Battery died....
Still alive. I cranked it with a slight pause, and started. Hummmmmm. do I just buy a new battery and take the hit? This would be the first battery I'm going to have to get. I've got 66K on the truck. And, no...my clock is fine when it's started.

Re: Battery died....
Go to Costco and buy a yellow top Optima. They don't list them on their website. But, to the best of my recollection, they were something like $100-130.

Re: Battery died....
Right before my battery went all the way dead, my CD Player would run through all of the CD when trying to start the truck up.

Re: Battery died....
Yes...the battery dying does do some funny things. My CD player would change over to radio in the middle of a song, some of the last key used presets would go haywire, clock would reset.....and sometimes even the toilet in the house would flush when I started the beast....go figure?!?!
Sorry if you're out of warranty...at least you can buy a trustworthy replacement....I now still have a factory one which I will always mistrust.
