Default Battery=poop

Need a new one, this one won't hold charge. Anyone know of a battery that is good and last me a good amount of time? I need a CHEAP one as I am on a tight *** budget. Does Walmart have decent batteries? What do you guys think I should pick up?

It's the original battery that came with the car. It's done If it sits for a couple days, the battery just dies. Any suggestions on a good/very cheap battery?

Do you have the Everstart with the top and side terminals? If I brought my battery in Walmart, would they give me a direct replacement?

I know it's not my ALT. I have driven it a lot, once it's charged it stays charged unless I don't drive it for about a week. How much was it? Any input guys on what battery I should pick up?

Lemme run outside and get you the pn that Ive got in my car...

Its the MAXX-75N. Its a yellow battery with a black top with only side terminals, no posts on top. Now that I think about it, Ive got one in both of my Z28's. One modded, one stock. Both batteries work great!

I just picked up the same one man. I was amazed how EASILY my car started up from before. The battery charge on it is all the way to the top now
