I'm thinking if your battery is 5 yrs old, it's pretty much on it's last leg. The DW and I just changed out our 4-5 yr old battery on our cars too. They gave out on us. Just be safe change your battery. JMHO.
My Silverado had an AC Delco Professional Plus battery with a 42 month, full replacement value warranty. It pooched on me just weeks after that 42 month expiry :R so I anted up for the Group 48 AGM recommended for my truck, sold by Canadian Tire with a 5 yr warranty. I'd consider 5 yrs out of any battery pretty respectable.
They must be making them much worse then back then.
I had 85 Chevy truck then and Delco batery lasted me 9 years..
My 08 Silverado batt died in couple years,but it was my fault as I left 12V Engel cooler on few times with engine off.
My 2nd batt lasted 5 years.
My 06 Silverado still has the OEM Delco battery...
