I guess you can add me to the list of those who have a problem with the new AGM style battery. After about a month of non use, I found my battery was flat. It would not take a charge from a battery charger. I junp started the car and it would not charge the battery either.
Thanks to Dennis Jurs for posting the following link;

which contains the statement " a (AGM) battery may be returned to normal service if it has a state of charge over 65%"
Question...... does that mean if it is below 65% that it cannot be recharged? I can't recharge mine!
The owner's manual states that the battery should be disconnected if the car is not used for 25 days.
Jeez.. that's not very long.... I left my for about 30 days (in a heated garage) and now the battery is junk?
GM's gonna have to replace a lot of these under warranty!
I think I'll buy an "old" technology battery and save myself some future headaches!
