hey you all,
      I have a '97 Jeep that had a bad battery. It was old and needed
to be replaced, as told to me by an inspection guy whom I trust. Plus,
the battery was very old, and it made sense.
      Each time I've gone to start it the past few days, it took
longer and longer to start. I realized I better replace the battery
quickly and did so.
    So now, with a new battery, it fires right up when I've been
running the Jeep and stop somewhere quickly. But when it sits for
longer periods, like overnight, for example, it takes a long time of
turning over before it actually starts - just like with the old bad
battery.
     Also, I had heard a "whistle" kind of sound from the motor for a
long time, but it went away once I put in the new battery.
     Any ideas what's going on? thanks in advance....
