rig: 89 renix 4.0liter limited (all power options)
Accessorys: low power Stereo system/kc 110w fogs etc (nothing extreme)
Problem: Current battery is a year old, its a wal-mart brand 540ca/640cca battery..
Its not keeping a charge. this is my 3rd (used) alt. and its still not keeping a charge, It will keep a charge for about a week, and then be flat dead. (rig barely gets drivin.. 3000mi/yr
i got a free upgrade(if one could call it that) its a Optima red-top, almost new! but, its 710cca/910ca and i believe that is far more then OEM
now, i can take the walmart battery back, exhcange it and call it a day, or i can make do with this red-top. what are the problems i could expect? short-term or long-term?
what would you do? the thing seems to start alot quicker, lights seem to stay bright no matter what the RPM's are..
Advice?
