Jump started the car....it is running...but doesn't start without a jump start. I called my mechanic and from what I told him, it seems to be a battery problem. Which is the best battery guys? What do I get?

Red tops are amazing. Well that is after the negative post on my first one wiggled out. Customer service asked no questions, sent me a new one overnight and had prepaid postage back (and this was 4-5 months out of warranty)

I now am enjoying my second red top, 7 years later still has a GREAT charge.

Alternator is done for.
Mechanic checked the voltage and it's putting out 12.5 V instead of 13.5V...... says I should change it and wants to charge me $100 for the change....

Guys, I need to buy a new alternator? Which one do I buy? Link/name of item?

How is this one? Has lifetime warranty?
