I had a NAPA house brand and the damned thing would go dead overnight. I would jump it, take it to NAPA, they'd say it's fine. The drive over was enough to charge it enough to make it look fine. Finally had it die on the road. AAA driver said it was NFG. Went over to Walleyworld and got a new one. No problems to date.
