Well I FINALLY get my car back from the body shop tomorrow! Right after that it's going to a local shop for a thorough and free, might I add, parasitic drain test.

I'm pretty sure it's a dead cell, guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Oy..i guess i got a lot more problems now then just a battery. Any how the Auto Zone in Winder, GA was a lot friendlier and we just swapped out for a Optima d35 battery. Disappointed that it had dust on it and a 01/09 sticker. Had it tested, looked great. Threw it in the car and starts like a champ. Hopefully I won't have any issues with it.

Still going to get a drain test but shops aren't open on Sunday.
