Optima Red Top 34R - went to start Jeep yesterday, dash lights all came on but not enough juice to start it. Purchased new battery and had the old one tested. It lost about 15% charge overnight. I have a bunch of external lights I am about to hookup and was planning a second battery for them.
Could I potentially use this old battery with the thinking by the time I get to any trails it will be charged, and as long as the motor is running it will continue to charge and power lights?
...or stop being cheap and get a new battery for the lights?
Thanks
