I still say have the battery tested first. It's the easiest and least evasive test. My experience is last week we had a '10 malibu come in with 36k miles. Boosted to get it to us, boosted to the get into the shop. Shut it off and tried to start it. Started nicely. Shut it off and tried to start it again, no love. Battery voltage was 12.2V. Tested battery with our GR8 battery tester and we had a bad battery.

The GR8 battery tester is a GM required tool. It charges the battery before testing it. And in that particular case it actualy failed the battery before the charge was complete. U don't question the General, or his magic.
