Battery change? engine stall?

Do you guys use any particular battery for your car? My car seems to stall a bit but it doesnt shut down, when I go below 2000 rpm I think is the battery because I charge it couple of times and it is not working. Every time I charge it when I turn my engine off after driving it for a good half an hour it would not start again even the alarm is not working. What do you guys think?

If your charging the battery and its not holding the charge then it might be your alternator. Try putting a volt meter on the battery with and without the car running. Should be around 13.5 - 14 volts while running and 12 - 13 with the engine off. Then again your battery could have gone bad and just wont hold a charge. Alot of people like the yellow top optima battery.

I vote your battery and or cables.
If the car stalls or wants to stall at low rpm your IAC valve could need to be cleaned or replaced.
I think these are separate problems your having.
