Frequently asked about the 2016 GMC Yukon XL

What battery does a 2016 GMC Yukon XL take?
The 2016 GMC Yukon XL is typically fitted with a BCI Group 65 battery — Absorbent Glass Mat chemistry recommended. The Raya Energy catalog has 1 matching ZITEX SKU.
How many CCA does a 2016 GMC Yukon XL need?
OEM specifies at least 720 CCA (cold cranking amps). In Canadian winters, anywhere from 720 to 864 CCA is sensible — higher CCA gives more starting headroom on the coldest mornings without affecting normal operation.
Does my 2016 GMC Yukon XL need AGM?
AGM batteries handle the deep-cycle demands and high-amp accessory loads modern vehicles place on the electrical system. Flooded chemistry will physically fit but won't last as long.
