Well, I had just enough time to get the cover off of the battery compartment before the rain started again. Got a peak at the battery for the first time, and it's definitely not an Optima like he said (it's a NAPA Legend), so I'll probably be buying an Optima at the very least. Didn't have time to check the connections yet, but that's first on the list when the rain lets up. Now, where the heck did my garage go? Ugh.
