Default Re: battery help

Yeah. As the battery nears full death it'll start to lose charge more and more frequently. If it's just a bad battery then a replacement will be all that's needed.

As Paragon suggested, get an optima as the replacement. If you're still within the first year, you should be able to get a replacement from the dealer.

If not, then get a yellow top. It's more resilient to discharges than a typical starter battery. So if it turns out that you have a drain on your system that's responsible for killing your first battery, then it won't get ruined as easily as the OE battery would. Obviously, though you'd have enough to justify the dealer chase down the drain.

BTW, discharge in 6 days is absolutely not normal.
