Powermaster and Kinetik both make good batteries. Check those two out first.

i'm honestly going thru the same thing, have had a whining sound under the hood for a few weeks, kinda sounded like a belt, other day was cruising and on some strong notes my deck would shut off than come back on.. got home and tested everything, hooked my charger up and said i only had 10% on my front batt and to check the alt. so obviously my alt wasnt charging and its time for a new alt. thinking about scouping up an ho alt since iraggi hasnt gotten back to me.

my head unit didnt cut off while i was driving, but my amps did the last time i drove it. i was pretty drunk, but i do remember that my amps cut off. that was 2 days ago. i havent driven anywhere since. been building my box and stuff.

i have a 3 farad capacitor, its was reading 0.00 before i charged the battery, and it was reading 10.20 after.

i have a 2 year old battery. nothing special.

Oh, it is "special" now. 10.2 volts AFTER charging? I would say you have a lead/acid doorstop.

i have been hearing a high pitch noise from under the hood recently. i think its the alternator. but not sure. it gets louder/higher as the engine revs up

That is the sound of your alternator working it's balls off, trying to keep up with a dead battery & system loads. Hopefully you have not killed it yet.

it cranked a minute ago, with the cap reading 10.20, but the sound was fuzzy out of the speakers.

You are lucky it cranked at all, with a battery voltage that low. What year & make of vehicle is this?

so you would say my best bet is to just go uo to advanced, or a local car electric shop and let them look at the alt and my battery
