Default Battery Fiasco

hey there monte fam...just wanted to share this small story...so when i first got jack i replaced the battery right away since it was bad, the sticker said 11/12. now every since the cold hit, the morning starts and when i get off work ive been having slow cranks barley starting. well today after i filled up it didnt start at all, i knew i would have to get the battery charged at autozone, good thing its right across the street from where i live. but i got a jump, went home, and took the battery over. half an hour later they tell me that 1. the battery is bad...and 2 its the wrong battery

well this was the old one...valuecraft brand...notice those low cranking and cca's





and this is the new...duralast, maybe an inch wider..but check out that power!!! and is the right type..autozone said this is the manufactures recommended battery type




well shouldnt be having any starting issues now... later folks just wanted to share
