After being on vacation for two weeks my car would not start. I may need a new battery.
Any suggestions?

Thank you,
jj

Most of the time a battery is a battery.

If you can PM the admin and ask him if you can change your sign in.
IM not sure if you can without starting a new one.

I just got back from the mechanic, he is ordering me the same battery I had before.
He put a temp in for me, it's new.
