well over here we have a store called Costco and its basically wholesale, you get everything for very cheap but its sold in large quantities.
they are very well known for taking anything back, my aunt took back a TV that was 7years old they had bought from there, they take anything back, they are awesome.
anyways they are well known for their car batteries...
for $40 I got a 640CCA/800CA battery with a 36month free replacement warranty and 100month limited warranty. Pretty good deal for $40?

for a starter battery sure
for an audio battery no

right. A big reason I wanted this was to support my alarm and my LED's for my alarm when the car was off. If I left my alarm armed for a day, or armed/unarmed it, when i went to start the car the next time it would take longer than usual (and like the car was straining to start), as the battery was weak.
so im hoping this will help.

LEDs have barely any drain on an electrical system.

Ya, with an automotive battery you could maybe leave a bazillion LEDs on, and it shouldn't effect it.
You old battery might have just been ready to go out on ya, you're lucky you got a warning!!

typically an alarm system in the armed state uses less current to operate than the clock in your car.. bit of trivia there.
