Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2001 GMC Savana 2500. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your GMC Savana 2500 battery.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Savana 2500 stranded. Your GMC Savana 2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
