Krambo Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Well the stocker was good for 4 years and 40K but she finally will not hold a charge overnight. I had it on the charger for 10 hrs but she wouldn't come back. I upgraded to the Optima Yellow Top. The OYT weighed in 4.5 pounds heavier than the stocker. I have let my battery go to zero charge at least 10 times which doesn't help the situation. So does everyone else have the stocker yet?

04silveradoclone07ss Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 i still have my stocker. in the back of my mind i would like it to die so i could get a yellow top. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 My stocker died last summer. I replaced it with a Duralast Gold. That's about the only thing that I'll buy from Autozone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I trashed it, it was doing ok but I was upgrading the audio so I just figured better to get a yellow top now. Truth be told I bought it originally because I was replacing someone elses battery who died. However that did not end up happening. Either way worthwhile mod.

huero626 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Well the stock battery on my truck is still good, but on my dad's Suburban it gave out after three years and I replaced it with a Duralast battery from Autozone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireRescueSS Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 The truck still has the stock battery, but since I got my hands on her, she doesn't sit any longer then 16 hours without being ran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGunny Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Still stock batt with 20k on it I'll be waiting for it to die to upgrade to optima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 My stocker has about 56K on her and still going. I've got a small audio setup(kenwood amp & 2 MTX subs). I guess when the time comes I'll replace it with a better battery. I also have the stock tires but I'm trying to burn through those with the maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Still have my stocker, will replace with a DieHard when it is totally dead. I got a solar batter charging thing that I keep on the dash to keep things charged, so far that thing has been doing a real good job, my truck sits for days and even weeks before driving again.

tulanejp Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Replaced mine recently. Got about 3yrs/30k out of it. FYI When it died, I searched this forum. I thought I found a thread of people complaining of only getting 3yrs out of the stock battery. By the way, found replacement batts at Sam's for a little less than $50 IIRC.
