terminals look good? light output seem normal? next time you give it a start, turn the dome lights on and see if they are noticeably more "dim" when trying to start. how old is the battery?

For what it's worth, according to CR, WalMart's batteries turned out to be the best, AND reasonably-priced, too. I would have her electrical system checked out, first, though. Good luck, dude!

A dead battery is dead. Time will not bring it back to life.
