Dead Battery Options
so i think my battery in the boss has seen its days. ive had to charge it the last 3 times i tried to start the car (car has been sitting over winter since Oct).
i know in my 05-09 it was the same battery as what is in the boss but have seen on the forums to upgrade to the bxt-40r (to replace the bxt-96r).
i will probably keep the original battery just for keepsake with the car but has anyone else upgraded the battery or just bought the same stock battery that came with it?
i will also be buying a trickle charger over the weekend also to hopefully take care of this situation in future years.
thanks,

Yes, get a trickle charger
Even with a good battery, you should either use a trickle charger or disconnect it if you are not running it every couple of weeks or so.
My 2006 came with a bxt-40r, which still holds a good charge 10 years later.
That doesn't mean that EVERY bxt-40r with do that on every car.
Batteries are always hit or miss.
I vote for getting a battery that looks like it belongs with the car and has a good warranty.
