so.. ..jeep runs fine.
yesterday, i started it up waiting for a pal.
he took over 5 minutes, so i shut her down.
went to start it again, got a half a cycle and then nothing.
turn the key again, nothing.
no power whatsoever.
checked all fuses, everything was good.
figured it was the battery.
i was right.
got a jump and it fired up.
my voltage indicator was all the way to the right and check gauges was on.
this went away after driving for maybe ten minutes..
..then came right back.
stopped and parked, and again, the battery is super toast.
so.. ..my question is this.
is this how optimas die?
without warning?
i put mine in in 03 and have had zero issues.
all the way up until its 'death' yesterday.
i want to get another one.
what do you guys know about red tops vs yellow tops.
and i suppose any ideas on the best deals in canada would rock.
vancouver bc.
cheers,
andy
