I picked up an Optima Red Top and Costco today, $99, a good deal, but when I got home and installed it, I got a click or two, no start, then dead battery. Did I get the wrong battery? I got a 75/35. Do theses things need to be charged before use?
A little background - I had the truck shipped from CA to CT and when it arrived the (stock) battery was dead. Not a surprise, the old battery was about ready to be replaced. They jumped it at the shipper and I drove it home (90 min. drive) got home and the battery was still pretty much dead. Again, not to much of a surprise.
I put the Optima in and.... nothing. Is it the battery or something else? Any help is much appreciated.
It's a 90 XJ
