Good info ?. Was allways under the impression that the longer you drove the vehicle the alternator will top up the battery from a boost

I appreciate that you're active in your own thread, but we all have side bets on the original issue...kinda feeling like you lost focus here Terminal or battery? I need to know!!

Lol..well this is what I did so far. Clean both neg and positive battery terminals. Neg ground from battery cleaned. (Cost effective route) if problem happen again battery will be changed. Thanks one and all

Anyone out there using the expensive Optima battery? Just wondering if perhaps longer life can offset the higher initial expenditure.

Just an update guys! Since I cleaned both positive and negative battery terminals and ground I've yet to incounter the dead battery issue I posted and asked for advice. Will check and see how it's holding the charge.

glad that fixed it. BTW a neighbor was having trouble thinking he had a bad battery, He charged it overnight, car wouldn't turn over. I went over, Battery voltage was 13.2, My charger would only put in about 2A, I grabbed the battery terminals, I could rotate both with some effort on the lead post. I rotated them to scuff up the terminals, Then it started right up. So.... he cleaned the terminals and tightened them, problem gone.
