The early fall season is battery replacement time of the year.     
      
   I have been alternating driving my 2012 Charger and my 2002 Monte Carlo -   
   every other week (mixing some days riding the HD when the weather permits).     
      
   I went out to drive the Monte Carlo yesterday morning and got the weak battery   
   "click click clicking" noise.  Wouldn't turn over.  Then I was trying to think   
   when the battery was last replaced - and it seemed like it wasn't that long   
   ago.   
      
   I keep everything logged when I do anything with my vehicles and took a look.   
   Turns out the battery was replaced exactly 3 years ago - on a 3 year warranty   
   battery.  The years seem to go by much faster as you get older..  Doesn't seem   
   like 3 years, as I remember replacing it like it was yesterday.     
      
   I recharged it and it starts again, but it will probably have to be replaced   
   as I figure it will go dead again.  They just don't make long lasting   
   batteries like they used to.     
      
   Does anyone have any recommendations for decent batteries?     
      
   I currently have a Sears Diehard - Gold in the Monte Carlo.  At least it   
   lasted as long as the warranty, which some don't even do that.
