Battery was dead, Triple A started it back up, said the battery check out ok and same for the alitator. Drove it for about 20 minutes with everything off to charge it. Put it in the garage, shut it off and restarted it. It started with no problems. Didn't start this morning. Would you suggests a new battery, it's about 4 years old and I live in florida where the heat can be pretty bad. Thanks

First make sure there is nothing left on. The slider for the dash lights in the overhead console was a problem on the earlier CTS. It all depends on how triple A tested the battery. It could need replacement, you could also have a drain.
