My Silverado had an AC Delco Professional Plus battery with a 42 month, full replacement value warranty.

It probably would have continued working just fine for many months but with winter approaching I decided I'd rather swap the battery out for a new one while the weather was still tolerable rather than in the dead of winter @ -10C.
