after months of band-aiding my battery on a charger every few weeks, I need to figure out why it's not holding a charge.
(prior posts have stated that I wasn't driving the car long enough to keep a full charge, but that's changed as I now drive the car more than enough to charge the battery. Also previously mentioned was a LoJack putting a drain on the car 27/7 and that's been removed (one less annoying car alarm in the world, do I get an award?).
So the battery's still not reliable. I need to have the hardware tested. If I put the [Panasonic stock] battery on a charger, it will fully charge and last for 3-4 weeks until it slowly drains enough to be unreliable -- so I'm thinking it's the alternator or wiring or something, no?
