Since the car is used, there is no way for me to know how old the battery is. I've got maintenance stamps, and a couple of receipts, but not one for the battery.

I bought the MAXX from WalMart. Not sure if I should put it in though. I'm leaning toward just sucking up the $75 hit and putting it in.
Not sure. They said they discharged it, charged it then tested it, but that's not what it looked like they did.
I just looked at the printout they gave me. Although the guy said, "The battery's good, it just needs a charge," the printout says, "Battery charge is low and must be charged to determine condition.
Screw it. I'm just going to replace it. If I still have problems, I can diagnose from there.
