[QUOTE="mast240, post: 7292709, member: 631695"] yea... your battery is most likely shot... usually when it says that, its either one of two things.... it wont hold a charge, or its not being charged... but, if u pulled the terminal off the batt, and the car stayed running... then the alt is putting out... do this.... pull the positive off the battery again, and then test the terminal (off the battery) with a multimeter/voltmeter) ... it should be in between 13.5 and 14.5 volts ... dont try to read the alt output with the batt connected, cuz that can distort your reading.... if your alt is putting out the right voltage, then your battery is shot. o, and the machine they use at autozone probably wasnt a load tester... sometimes they will use an actual load tester, and sometimes they use a crappy "battery tester" ... if it were a good load tester, when it came back saying "battery requires charge" it would have autimatically charged it, and then re-tested... if it does end up being your battery... i've got a brand new red top that i can sell you for 50 bucks plus shipping (if you want) hope that helps bro... i'm tired as hell, and not sure if i even worded it right, lol [/QUOTE]
