So... Took a friend's car to an independent garage to see if it could be repaired or if it was time to buy another. Owner came highly recommended and seemed knowledgeable. He mentioned that he replaces batteries on all his cars before they fail, and he never has any electrical problems. (No issues with coils, etc.) He said that as voltage drops over time, more amperage would be supplied, which makes sense since Watts = Volts x Amps...
Even if his rationale is wrong, should one replace batteries on schedule instead of waiting for a slow start to run to the car parts store (which is what I do). Should one check voltage periodically along with oil level, etc?
When I heard this advice, I immediately thought of you guys..
