The main battery is under the front passenger seat. By the time you rip everything out of the way to get to the stupid battery location you may as well install the new battery.

Since two shops tested the battery and its bad, replacing the battery is the way to go. Also the new battery has been bought, dropped off with the car at the shop to install it, its a done deal today.

So this evening when I get the car back (assuming no gremlin delay) I will then test the alt for ripple.
