Only because I called my indy mechanic and asked him what else besides the battery could be the root of the problem. He stated the other culprit could be the alternator.
When I noticed the problem Saturday morning I jumped the battery and then drove it around letting it charge for about 30 minutes. After a 30 minute rest I tried to crank it again and it wouldn't turn over.
I reckoned the easiest thing to fix was the battery. Maybe I could have had it tested and milk it for another year or so if it passed, but I figured why gamble when it's on borrowed time anyway.
But going back to the alternator? Are they any tell tale signs when an alternator is about to crap out?
