[QUOTE="JackT, post: 20357, member: 7055"] History: I just purchased a 2020 Equinox. - The vehicle has an in-service date of 1/6/2020, August is usually when model change-over starts, so we're saying the battery is over 4 years. - When we went for a test drive, the vehicle had to be jumped. It has run fine since. - I did to a battery draw test. Spec I see, if accurate, is 25ma or less, but it shows 79ma. I will start popping fuses to check it out. - Assuming I fix that if it can be fixed and not something wrong with the spec, I still will be spending a lot of time away and don't need trouble back home. I don't want to throw out a good battery either. What has been the experience of others with their 2018 and newer regarding battery life? - If it is an original battery, is there any method to determine its date so I can determine if it has ever been replaced?
