Get the battery tested.
Took the battery to Auto Zone, they hooked up a hand held battery tester and said that it tested good - took her less than 2 minutes to say it was good. Walmart said they had a handheld tester as well as a "bigger machine" to test batteries but I didn't take it there since AZ said it was good. This is the first battery I've had tested so is the hand held unit sufficient and reliable for testing load? It seemed pretty quick to me but I have no idea how those things work.
