BATTERY DEAD...AGAIN...fml

[Ed G.]

For the first 2 months I had my Alpha it started just fine everyday. Then one day when I got off work I went to start it, nothing. I went to the dealer and they replaced it with a new factory battery. About two weeks later the same thing happened. This time I went and bought a Optima Red Top. It lasted for 3 weeks then it went dead. Took it to the dealer they didn'y find anything wrong with the trucks charging system and they shelled out the money I'd spent on the Optima. My new step was to replace the battery cables and get a Optima Yellow Top. This seemed to do the trick but a month later the battery was dead. No matter what I tried if the truck sat for more then 2 days the battery would go dead. My final solution was to add a onboard trickle charger and keep it plugged in all the time . It's a bit of a pain but I never have to worry about having a dead battery.
