So how long should a GMC Sierra 3500 battery last? Our experts find that truck batteries typically last about 3-5 years. After that, we notice a decline in performance. If your battery is having a hard time holding a charge or you have to try several times to start your engine in the morning, it's a good idea to have your battery checked. Batteries Plus offers free battery testing at each of our 700+ locations.
Our selection of GMC Sierra 3500HD batteries includes both flooded and AGM batteries . AGM batteries cost more upfront, but offer a much better performance. They last longer, recharge faster and stand up better to the impact of extreme weather, be it extreme heat or extreme cold. Flooded batteries, while also a solid choice, require a bit of maintenance.
Now that you've replaced your battery, what do you do with the old one? We have the solution. Batteries Plus will recycle your old GMC Sierra 3500 battery when the new one is in place. Recycling is something we stand behind, be it for car & truck batteries, alkaline batteries, light bulbs and more. Our Recycling Services page tells the full story.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Battery FAQs
The average lifespan for a GMC Sierra 3500HD is around 3 to 5 years. In order to get the full life out of your battery, be sure to drive your GMC Sierra at highway speeds for at least 30 minutes per week. If you drive less than that, pick up a battery maintainer to help keep your battery charged up. Other factors come into play with that timeframe as well. Things like the kind of driving you do, the maintenance you perform (including checking your battery for corrosion, etc.) and the climate where you live will all factor into your battery's lifespan.
The Battery Council International (BCI) has broken truck batteries down into a number of different group battery sizes. The correct BCI group size for your Sierra 3500 will be listed in your owner's manual. If you no longer have an owner's manual, there are a number of tools online that can help you determine what size battery you need.
The cost of a replacement GMC truck battery will depend on the type of battery you want. Flooded batteries are more affordable upfront, while an AGM battery will cost you a little bit more. AGM batteries have much longer lifespans than flood batteries though, so, in the long run, you can end up saving money by investing in an AGM battery.
