Tolum,

You did the right thing. You had a cell going out and even though, with a jump, the car will run-the battery was gone. There is a rule of thumb; 2% degradation (from 100%) per month from initiation (adding the acid). So anyone can figure out the % loss of their battery.

I had the same problem, my OEM battery was weak and was turning the starter over slow. After I replaced it the whole car seemed to wake-up and ran noticeable better.
