You know why you've lost 3 in the past month?
Because you keep buying cheap 2nd hand ones.
Go out and spend $100 on a nice century battery that will last you a few years.

how long are u running your stereo with the car off for??
also are you sure your cars charging system is working right... get it checked out most auto elecs do free checks
and get a home battury charger and use it when your car is off and when you have your stereo on, remember this wont keep it fully charged but it will keep enough charge it in so it doesnt go flat, unless u run it like 24 with the stereo on..

You should get your alternator checked out that might be the problem.

I saw K-mart sold Dunlop batteries and after further investigation i found that it was an Exide battery under a Dunlop sticker.. put it in and it's been there for years.
