so about 3 months ago, i got off work, went to start my truck, wouldnt start, wouldnt even crank.
so my girlfriend jump started me, we went to autozone, they tested my batterty and said it was weak. i procrastinated to get it charged. lately for about a month now my truck would sometimes start and other times it wouldnt. and just recently it wouldnt, i had to get it jump started. today i got it charged for quite a bit while i was working. i left work and went to autozone and they tested my battery weak again. i was leaving but it wouldnt start. i had bad corrosion on it and it was leaking acid so i went ahead and bought an optima red top.
my questions being?
their system said direct replacement is a 75-25 but even with the adapter it came with, it still moves a bit, only if you manually move it though. should i be worried? is that the right size optima battery i need? what size optima battery do you have? they took my duralast out which was size 65-DL. was this duralast ever the size it needed for direct replacement?
