Many Sonics ship with a conventional 12-volt lead-acid battery, but depending on factory options and electrical load, some vehicles may benefit from an AGM or upgraded chemistry.

Our dealership uses OEM guidelines and diagnostic results to recommend the optimal battery type, ensuring compatibility with onboard electronics and starting demands. Choosing the right type at Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues delivers long-term savings because it prevents premature wear and electrical issues that can cascade into larger repairs.
