I would try an optimat battery personally.

but definately want to check your car for any electricity drains.

The first thing I would do is hook up a volt meter to the battery and let it sit for a few hours, then check the voltage again and see if it is lower than when initially hooked up.

The next thing would be to test the battery the same way but not hooked up to anything.

It could be the incorrect interstate battery was used, but that shouldn;t make too much difference.

Personally I am a big fan of optima batteries. I've had mine for 4 years now, and never had a problem with it.

I use the blue top deep cycle marine one, but the red top reversepost is what I have put into many cars.

I have put the red top reverse post in porsches, ferraris, vw's, benzes, bmws, etc, and never had a problem with any of them.

I like interstae batteries. I think they have one that is a nice euro replacement, I think it is the mtp91, which is the smae size as most bmw and benz batteries.
