Thank You very much guys, I checked out the awesome how-to Ray put together and I believe with some help from a friend we should get it swapped out.
Follow up question... will installing a different type of battery that came out of a Porsche damage your alternator or anything else? I was away on business in our other car when our battery died on my wife and my father in law (attempting to save money) bought or found an old Porsche battery and installed it. Started and ran for a few weeks then the battery light came on and later that day we lost all electric. Will doing this damage the alternator or more?
