i think my battery is either already or about to die..

any suggestions what should i replace it with? any specific brand? or any will do ?

 

I would get a Optima Red top battery. If you have any stereo upgrade, it will help keep your system voltage more stable too. They are pretty good batteries for the price. $180 ish. Or if you want to go the cheaper route, an interstate battery is pretty good.

 

Go to the library and get the Consumers Report Issue where they rated all the car batteries. I forget which month it was off hand but most libraries have it either on Microfiche or in there magazine section. You are a member of your local library branch I hope. :eek:


What's a library .......right? :eek:

 

heh.. i dont even know where the library is

 

can i find somethin like this on-line?

 

OK follow up, the month you want is 10/01
