AGM vs flooded — which does this vehicle need?
The 2017 Chevrolet Suburban requires an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery. This is because this generation of Suburban features a start-stop system, which automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped to improve fuel economy. This system puts a much higher demand on the battery than a traditional starting system, and a standard flooded battery will not be able to withstand the repeated cycling. AGM batteries are also more resistant to vibration and are spill-proof, making them a better choice for a large vehicle like the Suburban.
Post-installation relearn / reset procedure
After replacing the battery in your 2017 Chevrolet Suburban, you will need to perform a battery relearn procedure. This is because the vehicle's computer needs to learn the new battery's state of charge and capacity in order to properly charge it. If you do not perform this procedure, the new battery may not be charged correctly, which can lead to a shorter lifespan.
The relearn procedure can be performed with a scan tool, or by following these steps:
- Turn the ignition on, but do not start the engine.
- Press the "Home" button on the infotainment screen.
- Select "Settings."
- Select "Vehicle."
- Select "Battery."
- Select "Battery Relearn."
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Signs of a failing battery
- Slow engine crank
- Dimming headlights
- Warning light on the dash
- Corrosion on the battery terminals
- Swollen or bloated battery case
Common battery issues for this generation
The most common battery issue for this generation of Suburban is premature battery failure. This is often caused by the increased demand from the start-stop system, as well as the many electronic accessories that are common on these vehicles. To help prevent premature battery failure, it is important to have your battery tested regularly and to replace it as soon as it starts to show signs of weakness.
