Buy a Optima Red Top if you get a new battery. Worth it very much so IMO.

Interstate is also pretty good. My interstate battery cost $250.

Thats pretty much what I plan on doing, I just wanted to get it checked out first to make sure it was the battery. I didnt want to cop and have anew battery placed in then the problem end up being something else simple and dumb.

So my pops tells me it might be the Alternator, because the battery he put in before he gave me the car had a 60 month guarantee and he says it hasnt even beenlike 25 months yet. I`m assuming that when my car is on/driving slow that the alternator is not charging the battery correctly, but when I drive normally itis. Could I be right? How much does it usually run to get that fixed?
