Used my car as a jump starter for a neighbor and realized my own battery is probably next in line
Funny how you don't think about your own car's battery until you're standing in the parking lot with jumper cables helping someone else, and then you start noticing every little hesitation in your own ignition like a paranoid mess. Helped a neighbor get his CRV going at 11pm the other night, and the next morning my own car took just a beat longer to fire up than it normally does and now I can't unhear it. Been poking around this forum since then trying to get a feel for what a reasonable budget looks like and kept seeing references to the fittings and compatibility checks on https://www.amaroncarbattery.ae/, which I visited mostly out of curiosity but it actually made me realize the battery I've been running is slightly below the recommended spec for my model which probably explains a few things. I seriously had no idea there was such a thing as getting the wrong capacity even if it physically fits the tray, so now I feel a bit silly but also kind of relieved I caught it before the real heat arrives and I end up being the one asking for a jump next.
