alarm, dead battery, wtf?!?

WEll I was sitting in class today and I started getting text messages from my roommates saying my car alarm was going off. Well I couldn't do anything since i was in class. By the time I get home its chirping at like half volume, the sign of the dead battery.

so what happened, I was told that when it first went off that no one was near it, so did a slowly already dying battery (its the original Delco one) cause it to go off or what?

Well I gotta go get it jumped and the battery tested.

i kno that in my last car if the batt was low then the alarm would go off and pretty much just drain it .... i never figured out why it would stay on and keep going but it would drain the batt every time it happened

I think that when the battery starts dying the alarm goes off for whatever reason. The battery causes the alarm to go off, not the other way around.

that's it the damn thing did it all over again. So fuck it, I'm getting a new battery any suggestions as to what is a good, quality battery with a fair amount of cold cranking amps and a decent life span.
