    Time for another cheap ass battery. I'm a cheap mother... so we'll see what O'reilly's can do for me in the AM. I did throw the battery from the 4Runner on it to see if it would start. It started after a couple spins; but I know that battery is weak already.

    Although I'm not a big fan of autozone their duralast batteries are good for the. $$

    I'll have to check them out. I did check the alternator by unhooking the truck from the 4R battery while it was running and the lights did not dim. I believe the alternator is good to go. The old battery is a WalMart battery with a 36 month warranty. I might take it back and see if I can't get it replaced by them; even a hell of a discount would be nice.

    Headed to Vato Zone. The warranty and specs are better than anything else within my price range.

    Mine started starting slower; like it was not fully charged. I checked it with my multimeter; it showed to be fully charged so I knew I had a cell going bad.

    ^ The best way to tell.

    This.

    Yeah, it is easier to buy a good one when you can afford it instead of waiting till you have to scrape cash together. If I had planned this one out ahead of time I would have put some bigger cables on the battery also.
