Just got a new battery, i haven't tryed jumping it yet, no jumpers and or friends available right now. I bought the battery and repaired the truck before it ever was turned on, got it into running shape and the battery is 100% dead. It's not quite a problem, i'd just like to know if the one i have is actually the right battery. Thank you.

I took my battery to the store they said its charged, i hooked it back up and nothing is happening when i turn the key no lights nothing. My Ignition switch is a little button, when i hit it i can hear the starter clank. I've replaced the starter and the starter solenoid.
