Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 GMC V3500. 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).

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty V3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC V3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
