07 Suburban LTZ - Dead Battery issue
I'm having the same problem as we speak. My battery goes dead if you leave anything on for just a few minutes without the engine running. Seems kind of rediculous for such a big truck to go dead so fast.
I also wondered why there's an empty "battery tray" in the engine compartment. Seems like if they built it in there...they should of put something in the empty tray.

I believe the tray is a left over that was a convenient structural support, thou I wouldn't speak too loudly about it as GM my get wise and remove it as it is a convenient place of a secondary battery or small tool box storage location.

I haven't see a Hybrid but remember someone stating that the tray was for the battery in the Hybrid. I think they placed a controller where our battery is.
Maybe someone w/ a Hybrid can chime in.

I have a 09 LTZ so may not be related.
I dont drive my truck often. I usually leave the truck unloicked. Well I also have blue tooth enabled. I noticed my phone was always trying to connect in my house. (No key in truck- Just unlocked) after one week. Batt was dead.
I now lock my doors and has not been a problem. Seems to put the truck in more of a sleep mode(less batt drain)

radio
i always listen to the radio when I wash my car... until I get an optima yellow for this one (had a red top in last tahoe) i push 'menu' then display off... that seems to save a lot of power and its not like i'm looking at it anyway...

Yes, the OEM battery is a POS. Mine has died twice, and almost a third, but still lives after 60,000 miles.
