WTF.....

Ok..just checked the Optima website. They make a battery to fit a Packard, but not Hummer...

Had that problem when I test drove my H3 before delivery.

Too bad it was the only color and model they have that I want so I told them to replace the battery or no deal.

So they did.

I'm driving a beatiful Birch White H3 now for 2 months with no battery problem.

Took mine into the dealership today picked up a loaner H3 came back at 5pm and mine was all ready to go.

Verdict:Bad Cell in the battery they replaced it with a new one!

Also they fixed my heated seat which kept turning on when exiting the vehicle.

Sewell Hummer rocks

Ok. back at the dealer. Same problem as before. Possible it may be the clutch safety switch for the manual trans. The battery has tested twice to have a full charge. They will have it over the weekend. They hooked me up with a "nice" Outlander minivan. I took it home and parked it behind the house so none of my friends see it. I will be driving my Tacoma beater until my ride is fixed.

I had a bad battery as well after 5 months it died. Dealership tested it, said it infact had a bad cell. They said that was the first one on an H3 they had seen (right!). I was in and out in 45 min. I had mine on a charger the night before driving to the dealer, when I turned it off at the service entrance it would not crank back up to pull it into the bay! good thing I didn't stop for fuel or something on my way to the dealer.
