Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2005 GMC Yukon XL 2500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Yukon XL 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Yukon XL 2500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
