Default Battery died

in our 2007 Uplander. Not 5 yrs old. Uplander uses Group 34 battery
No need to remove fuse box, just remove cross brace and hold-down clamp at rear bottom of battery. Remove clamps and slide up/out.
No reprogramming of anything required (I don't have TPMS).
Pretty simple

I have used the WalMart Everstart Maxx batteries in my vehicles over the last couple of years but they tend to go bad much sooner than they should, 12-18months...

I have TPMS but could care less as the sensors are notorious for failing anyway...

Thanks for the info...will be replacing the OEM on my '08 soon with a heavy duty unit...

I got a Costco battery. Have had very good luck with them.
If the EverStart batteries fail that soon, W-Mart should give you a replacement N/C.

Yeah I quit using them but they did me free replacement no charge...I have sound systems in each vehicle so that didn't help but for $70, it was hard to pass up a 975CA/875CCA battery!

Using O'Reilly's in the car currently...
