Guys i need some help. For bout the last 8 weeks. my batts been pretty much dead every time i go to my car. my clock/radio reset, and it barley starts, but every time it starts. So I figures simple, I need a new batt. And if i get one, i was thinking bout the optima yellow top, but my bro has one, and it wont fit. So what do you guys think i should do, also should i relocate it?? Andy help and or ideas of what to get or to do would be great, thanks guys/gals.

there really isnt going to be any gain in a "high performance" battery. but locating to the back is the bad ass way to bling out your engine bay. just get some jumper cables and strip them and slip them under your car.

umm that does sound like a battery sounds like an altinator....
take your car to advanced auto have them run a free battery check or take out your altinator and have them check it also but yea get some REAL wire (also get from advanced auto) not a jumper cable...a sealed battery box (advanced auto) and put that baby in the trunk |

oh yeah and you might want to get a battery made to be in the car. regular batteries let out crazy "kill you" fumes.

Also It has to be the batt, cause i always get dim lights, and cant run the interior lights. |

I was having the same problem in my car right after i got it. I thought it was the alternator too but it turned out to be a bad battery. The guy at Advanced had never seen a battery go bad after under a month of use. Anyway have them check the whole electrical/charging system while your there.
