Nothing was plugged in or left on...If it happens again I will insist on a new battery. If this happens out on the middle of nowhere I would be screwed.
Vehicle is a new 07.

I have been noticing my starts were feeling a bit weak this week and sure enough took the H3 to get detailed today and the door was open for 30 minutes and that was enough to kill it. Tipped the vatos and got in my shiny H3 and got the click click and had to ask for a jump. My H3 has 13k miles on it

Not neccessarily. Remember you have 1 Year of OnStar Safe & Sound.
Part of the plan is Roadside.
1) fuel to get you to a gas station if you run the tank dry. I think it's $5 worth.
2) Towing to a Hummer Dealership where a hummer mechanic can work on the vehicle.
Best part, is that is all free. I imagine if something doesn't fall under warranty then that's on you, But that is after it gets to the shop.
FWIW.

When my battery died my wife called onstar on lunch and requested a jump start latter that day when she was leaving work and when she got off they were waiting.
I continued my onstar after the year was up.


Desert Dan did you have to custom fit the battery ? Do tell. also part # of battery used thanks
I wasnt sure if I sould go for the red top or the yellow top.

I don't have the Optima part number handy. The Optima came with a different hold down clip for the base of the battery. I wasn't able to use the webbed nylon strap do to it being too lose some mod will be needed.

Due to the terminal locations being slightly different on the Optima I wasn't able to put the plastic cover on. Some trimming of the holes will be needed.

I was a bit confused over Red and Yellow too, but I have had 2 Red Tops before and had no problems. The yellow (deep cycle) may be better for winching.
