Bo: Glad to hear you are OK. I had a 95 Suburban that would have a
dead battery every 2 years. It did this on me 3 times before I got
another brand. It had a Wal Mart Neverstart battery in it when I bought
it and we were in a WM parking lot and it just died. I went back in and
got a battery and installed it. 2 years later at a restaurant at 10pm
it would not start and I had rolled the window down when we got in and
it did not have enough power to raise the window. I had to walk a 1/2
mile through traffic at night to get a battery. Then called a friend to
help carry the battery back to the parking lot and install. 2 years
later it failed at home and I replaced it with one from a local battery
company. I have used this company since and their batteries work fine
and last about 6 years usually if I don't let them run down. Stay
safe. Good luck on getting back home.
