GMC Suburban

About the Suburban's battery

SUVs and 4x4s carry more electrical load than a saloon: bigger AC systems, rear climate, powered tailgates and often a towing or off-road package. They take a larger-capacity battery, and a tired one shows up first as a slow crank after the car has been parked in the sun.

What to expect by model year

  • Model years up to about 2009 almost always use a standard flooded or calcium battery with no electronics to reset. Changing it is straightforward.

What applies to every GMC

GMC trucks and SUVs are heavy on electricity. A V8 Yukon or Sierra has to turn a big engine, then run rear AC, cooled seats, screens and power steps, often while idling outside a school or a tower lobby. Older models use a conventional flooded or calcium battery. Newer ones with automatic stop-start leave the factory with an AGM battery and must get AGM again, or stop-start quits and the new battery fades early.

On the Yukon and Sierra the battery is under the bonnet. Recent GMC models have a battery sensor on the negative cable. It does not usually need coding, but it has to be reconnected correctly and the car left locked for a few hours to learn the new battery. A memory saver keeps radio presets, seat memory and window settings in place during the swap. The first-generation Acadia is the odd one out, with its battery under the cabin floor behind the front passenger seat.

    Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

    The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

    Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

    Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

    Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

    Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

    Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

GMC Suburban battery questions

How long does it take to change a GMC Suburban battery?

About 20 to 30 minutes once the technician is at the car. Add a few minutes if the battery sits in the boot or under a seat, or if the new one has to be registered to the car.

Will I lose my radio and seat settings?

No. We connect a memory saver before disconnecting the old battery, so the clock, radio presets, windows and seat memory stay as they are.

Can you fit the battery in my tower's basement parking?

Yes. Send the tower name, parking level and bay number, and let security know a technician is coming.

Does a GMC Yukon with stop-start need an AGM battery?

Yes. If your Yukon or Sierra came with an AGM battery, replace it with AGM of the same size and rating. A standard flooded battery cannot cope with repeated restarts on top of the heavy electrical load, and stop-start may switch itself off.

My GMC clicks but will not crank in the basement. Is it the battery?

Often, yes. Rapid clicking with dim dash lights usually points to a weak battery or a loose terminal. We test the battery and the charging system first. If a jump start is enough, that is what we do. If the battery fails the test, a new one is fitted on the spot.
