Now even after putting it on a 6amp charger all day it still will not hold a charge. The only reason I bought it from walmart was that I found the first dead one at 5:30 in the morning and they were the only store open, next time I will wait 4 hrs before I buy one from wally world.
check the cells....or if you have a multimeter start it and take a reading ....if under 12 volts alt is bad...
Usually this is true but I have seen batteries in such poor condition that they read under 12 volts with a good alternator. Rare, but possible.

I can't get it up to 12v.................... I think it has a bad cell or two but is just dead dead dead. I have my mustang I can drive so I am in no hurry, I have time to find a good deal just don't have the money for it.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

you may find one on craigs here's an example http://jonesboro.craigslist.org/ele/1822590260.html you can type optima or kinetik battery in the search ive seen them listed cheaper. but if i was to buy a used battery i would see if it would start a car first.
