I just ran into this on my sons car last week. The battery would test ok but on cold mornings after start up some times, all of the electric accessories on the car (heater fan, radio, lights) would shut down if car was operating below 2000 rpm.

The lady at Advance Auto said that modern cars run most everything off the battery at low rpm and if you only run your car a short time at low rpm, the battery never recovers...my son drives 1 mile to school.

So as stated above, trickle charge or drive farther.

Must be contagious , wife's 98 toyota had to jumped at work to get home, I thought she left lights on,door ajar, etc. charged it overnight, cranked fine in the morn ,at lunch, and ride home. No crank this morning.

If you have a SAMS card, they had about the best prices I could find earlier this year when I was looking. If not, go to advances website and look across the top of the page. You can alsmost always find a 15-20% off coupon for orders over $50, and get a $25-50 coupon for a later purchase. Order and pay for it online, and pick it up in the store.
