Default OnStar Low Battery Message

I have been getting this message from OnStar "Your 2019 Chevrolet Corvette detects a low state of charge (SOC) on its battery". The car seems to be starting OK after the winter months (started/warmed up once a week during the Winter) and the gauge on the display when started is reading about 13.5-14.0 volts. Is the battery starting to hold less charge when the car is just sitting? Any thoughts or suggestions? Probably will bring it in to the shop for a charging system check or replace the battery.

Exactly. Bring it to your local auto parts store, and have them load test it in the car for you for free. I think Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts have exact, direct drop in replacements now. I like the one that has a handle builtin. Make sure it has the vent.

There are literally hundreds of battery threads on this forum you can read. AGM verses non-AGM. Optima vs non-Optima. Lithium verses traditional. Delco verses everything else.

Yeah, I'd be a bit leery of anything OnStar told me beyond tire pressures...
