Check the battery connections, it doesn't take much to cause these kind of problems. Just a little crud on the connection or a loose connection can keep a car from starting, even with a good fully charged battery.

just check the cells in the battery.if you have a bad cell your car may start for a week and then not start.

Kill it first before going in!

Im sure they do have a tester. Dont know what was going on through the techs head that day, but I lol'ed to say the least. I would do that, but I dont want another AC Delco battery, as long as I have subs I would like to upgrade to a Optima anyway.

Connections are good, I checked them tonight. No leaking acid or anything either.

How do you check each cell?

Ok since I dont really want another AC Delco, does anyone know what Yellow top I would need? I only have the CCA rating which is 720.
