The Oldirtybastard's home. This morning after an hour of charging, Autozone determined it to be a bad battery. It's a Bosch from PepBoys with a 36 month warranty that I bought in August of 2010, so I took it to PepBoys.
About 2 hours past between Autozone & PepBoys and the battery was DOA. After a half hour of charging, Pepboys determined the battery is good with another 24 months of life, even though 2 tests later showed the battery slowly losing charge. The manager would not (said he could not) honor the warranty without a bad battery reading. So they charged it another 15 minutes, a 20 minute drive to the car, swapped the OVP, installed the battery, the car started right up and made it home.
That was about 2 hours ago and the car still starts with no issues. We'll see what happens in the morning.
I think I'll leave the alarm disabled for now and plan on replacing the battery. I thought Bosch would be a good battery since there a ton of Bosch parts in the car. Or could Autozone just want to sell me a new Battery. Or does Pepboys know the battery is no good and just doesn't want to honor the warranty? Hopefully it's not an alternator issue since this happened out of the blue.
Thanks for your help and following the saga!
