Do the big 3 and make sure you have good connections on all your wires.

Batteries don't last forever my friend.

If you have a system on stock electrical and only replace the battery every 5 years, that is good.

mainly, because he wants your money. secondly, lots of people think it helps (it does, to an extent. but not the one farad ones. try like 50 farads lol) when it really doesnt do much if your cars electrical is already underperforming.
