a good place to buy a replacement battery for my car?
Will sears do? I don't want to spend a lot. Something that will work. If anyone can recommend me of a place I'd appreciate it.... also will they install it and test it for you?

Wallmart since you mentioned CHEAP and nothing is more madely CHEAP and CHEAPER than a Wallmart Brand. Since your not looking for quality. 
But my true advice is spend the money on a High Quality Battery since it's the one of the most important component on a High Quaility Ride like the G.
Go with the Optima Battery.

Its the teeth from the starter engaging the flywheel when the engine is running. The problem that you sound like you have is either the battery because of age or something is draining the battery. There is an accesory that is staying on that you dont know about. 9/10 if you have the jump the car to start it everytime its the battery, once thing to do if you dont have a lot of tools grab a DMM digital multi meter check the charging voltage of the alternator. By going from the ground on the battery to the power side on the alternator. That will help tell you if the battery is being sufficiently charged, based on the voltate. 12.8-14.25 is roughlt what you want it to be. Let me know if this helps.

ok that makes me feel a little better. I hope its the battery and nothing else. Now my next question is where is the alternator located at? do you have a picture on exactly where i need to tap my digital multimeter to get a readout? So i tap the negative post of the battery with the negative on the DMM and the positive on the DMM to the alternator?
I don't know where the alternator is.
