Default Help! I Tried to start my car this morning and my battery was low...
It didn't have enough juice to start my car. The Volt Meter on the dash said it had about 8 volts. It usually says 14. I checked everything and I didn't leave my lights on, and nothing could have drained my battery that I could see. I had the car jumped and everything is fine, but I'm worried that when I go out after work it will be drained again. What could be causing this?

You don't always get warnings like this - replace immediately

For future reference, do you have to get a OEM battery?

Most places will do a load test on your battery
