Okay, so I am at a mall and go to leave and the car won't start. So I run over to SEARS and they have a battery that is designed to fit the car (almost unbelievably!) and I replace it and the car starts and everything is good, right? Wrong! After driving about 25 miles the message screen displays the "electrical system service required" message and the little battery indicator is glowing. Considering the closest Volvo dealer is like 50 miles away, is there anything to check besides alternator output? I have read stories on various forums that a lot of non-OEM Volvo batteries will cause the system to do this. Any truth to these rumors? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
1999 model, by the way.
