Two problems related to battery have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Astro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Ongoing electrical system problem, draining the battery power, and causing the battery to overheat. Battery became so hot that itt had to be disconnected to prevent an explosion. Dealer contacted for a scheduled appointment.
Acdelco that was installed at dealer 9/2000 on 11/1/2002 it leaked battery acid and post went through side of battery-dealer states it happens all the time-it seems as though this battery model #78-6yr seial #090004 may have a defect and the VIN # I reported is what came off the plate in the front of the van-it appears to be tampered with-I am not sure how to check if it is correct-that number is also on all my car warranty information.
