List, Today i had my charging system tested (volt meter was doing odd things) and they said my battery tested bad. what i want to know now is what battery should i get? in the archives it says that the optima is a good battery, but do i really need it? is it worth the extra money? I am also having trouble figuring out which battery is the right replacement. is it just called a ' 75 ' ? My car is driven mostly on weekends so often times it sits maybe 5 or 6 days between starting. i have all of my electical issues sorted out so the battery is never dead even after a couple weeks of non-running. my last battery was an Exide and it is about three years old, however it was subjected to frequent total discharge in the first two years of its life as i sorted things out and fixed some wiring. i am sure that is what caused its early demise. what do you recommend out there?
