Question Possible Battery Problem ?

Ok. Three times in the past 7-10 days I have went to start my Cruiser and I get that definite drag, or even no responses at first, that you tend to associate with a failing battery. To date, it has finally started after a couple tries. I took it to Autozone yesterday and they put a load test on the battery and it appeared to test fine. Now I am not sure if replacing the battery will resolve the problem. The battery is the original and I have had the car for 4 years 3 months. I tested for error codes and came back clean. Any input would be appreciated.

John, I think it is time to change the battery. When you get a hesitation like that even tho the battery checks out, it has just about maxed out. 4 1/2 years original is a long time. Autozone may be willing to put one in to see if it helps.
Good Luck

I suspect that in driving it to the Autozone you charged it enought that it appeared fine. 4 1/2 years is all you're going to get....
