I would just charge the battery over night and then if your battery goes dead again, then buy one.

I think I'll buy a new one. This is OEM battery, coming up on 5 years old.

Default I would recommend Costco/Sam's club...
Most tire/battery places are all crooks. They just want to sell you the most expensive battery, or whatever they have in stock. Sam's or Costco - they stock a lot of them, and they don't have commission sleezes trying to help you or recommend something you don't need.

Default I would highly recommend buying an Interstate Battery, I've had great luck with them over the years,
and great warrenty.

Default Nerd.....
Did you read about that guy that changed his name to Optimus Prime? Personally I would have chosen a cooler GOBOT name.
