If you can do this then why don't you do as I first suggested and have them test the alternator?????

So take the car over there in the morning and have them test both things? I removed the battery based on another persons suggestion.

I will reinstall and go to the shop. Hopefully it is just a battery.

Man I'm sorry. Yes O'reilly's AutoZone etc. can check your battery and alternator, and it's usually free. Good Luck,

Looking at that battery I'm guessing it's around 5 years old and so would be a good candidate for being bad. Don't like seeing the acid around the top plug on a maintenance free battery though.....
