wow!!!
in best case scenario, you are at the end of 4th battery/beginning of 5th battery, and all of them were the OE...
in real life you are probably at the end of 2nd battery, that was replaced 5-6 years ago (is there a date tag?)
you need a new battery, as even if you get this one running, it will not hold the charge - it held up long enough and now went off a cliff...
of course, the OE battery is good, but it will run you $300... check the size (is it 92?) and get it from a regular store, with 3 year warranty, 5 years pro rated... no programming needed...
