Ok... I left my interior dome lights on over night one time and the cars battery died.

The next morning I was pissed off, and basically used a battery charger and charged it back up.

Everything was fine...

Then, I installed my RSX seats and I left the dome light on again but, maybe for like 4 hours. I started the car, and it was fine.

The next morning I started it but, It sounded like it almost didnt want to start.

Now, sometimes when im in heavy traffic, I can notice the guages/dash lights going dim... but, If I put the car in nutral and gas it, I notice the guages and dash get brighter.

This gets me scared because, I dont want my car to break down...

Is the altinator bad? or the battery dead? They are both OEM, Should I get a new battery?

just bought an optima yellow top battery, so far things are working well

A hint of advice... Pep Boys sucks. They said they dont have the kind of battery we need. I started yelling at him, and went to the back and found it myself.
