I thought that was kinda of weird since 98% of GM's cars take side post batteries. A optima battery would be a great replacement battery, they are very good batteries, well before Johnson controls (interstate) bought them out lol just kidding they are still good batteries.

every GM side post battery I have ever owned has had this problem... even the one in our 2002 Firehawk, which doesn't get much use and is charged religiously to make sure that it didn't go bad had this problem... I will buy another GM battery to go in the car so it can be in the factory stock class at car shows, but I now have an Optima red top in the car for regular use.
