Well, the car battery died today on my car. Luckily, I had a battery jumper (the portable battery jumper type with the positive/negative battery clamps). After jumping the car, the battery still wouldn't hold a charge (died as soon as I turned off the engine).
It just so happened there was a Walmart closeby so I jumped the car, drove it to the Walmart auto service and had them install a new battery.
The battery was over 5 years old, so it was about time anyway.
This got me thinking, do you wait the your car battery gives out, or replace it more frequently. Last time I didn't had a jumper, so had to call AAA. Now, the jumper came in real handy (it wasn't even fully charged beforehand).
