i think it is time to replace the battery on my 95... par for the course, the miata battery is a bit unusual, (u1rt), and therefore probably expensive. autozone has an autocraft silver for $110. are there other good choices?
thanks, peter

There's a battery place here in Dallas that stocks the Westco. Maybe in your town?
hmmm,
advanced auto says my battery is "good". they checked it twice because they thought it was a lawn tractor battery at first and used 250cca as a test perameter, then uses 330 cca and it was still "good"...
the battery doesnt turn the rebuilt motor over very fast even with the plugs out...i have a strange feeling about this.......

Bad news, hope it's nothing really bad, could be just a poor connection or a bad starter motor....
First thing to try is a slow charge: 1 or 2 amps for 24 hours. If it's an AGM battery, once it's drained past a certain point the alternator won't recharge it, but an external charger may bring it back to good condition.
1/4 battery tender i might get to it tomorrow to investigate further.

the issue with the battery ended up being a defective mechanic...i just placed the neg cable on the terminal and it was not tight... doh!
