A bad battery; then another; yet another!

[NOTPAID4]

A few months ago the battery finally died on Tee's DEMON so we broke down and bought her another; then about a month of so after that the battery went Kaput on my Blue R/T so had to buy a second one.... and NOW it appears the battery is going or gone on my Red R/T..... Geesh! Right now I have the battery on a 24 hour 2 amp charge and borrowed a Snap On battery tester with the load capability from a friend and getting ready to go check it out after the all night charge.

I bought BOTH of the other batterys (94R) from Wal Mart at $82 each; cheapest around that I could find and have the 3 year Free replacement and 5 year warranty. Yesterday I headed to Wal Mart and the same battery is now $109.95... I understand prices go up.... but What the Hey.... from $82 to $110 = WOW. I did NOT go ahead and had NO plans of buying the ones there as they all had the date3 of Sept 2010 on the top, been sitting there for ONE year ~ NO Thanks!!!

I also took out my NEW Code Reader Tee bought me for my birthday and hooked it up to LUCKY to ensure it was NOT the alternator or something running the battery dead.

I may look for a used battery or some smaller cheaper one and put that in BLUE and take the new ONE from it and put it into LUCKY ~ NOT sure yet.


*** Tee just called... she went to lunch with our daughter Heather and he pinky thing broke ~ she's about 30 miles South of our house.... but... the pinky thing broke when the car was in Drive so it's still running and she's gonna try to baby it home. Sure hope she makes it; too hard to try to change it out on the side of the road..... Dang it, ONE thing after another....

Gotta run.............
