i was just curious if anyone had any advise on purchasing a new battery for a 2000 s type. i think my battery is going because everytime i let it sit for more than 24 hours it needs to be jump started.i was told to start with the battery,i was also curious if anyone else thinks the same.i was thinking about going with one of those optima batteries but i wasnt sure if its worth it go get that battery so i need other opinions.thanks for nayone who can help its alot harder to speak in text than in person.

 

According to consumer reports 1 of the best buys in batteries out there for performance and cost is everstart max from walmart.
So unless you have a stereo system, or like to have music on while you work outside you dont need an optima, if you do use the yellow top thats handle full discharge/recharge cycles.
And yes probobly your battery since when they loose reserve power, if power gets to a certain level while sitting the car wakes up electracally and runs the battery down the rest of the way, everytime a battery is run down it looses approx 50% of reserve power.
oh, and I use the everstart max in my truck with winch, offroad lights, and stereo without issue

 

Optima batteries are a HUGE waste of money and I should known. I've had a yellow top and two red tops in my Mustang within the past five years, and they all died slowly. I called Optima and their response was their batteries die just like everyone else’s. My response was if they don't last any longer WHY charge three times the price of a normal battery just because it doesn't leak when mounted sideways? I'll never buy another Optima battery.

 

thanks for the advise ill most likely go with the walmart battery then thanks again
