Are you saying that either me or the dealer needed to do something to the new battery to make it functioning? Dealer didn't add anything to battery, and I certainly didn't.

Thanks.
But if I am able to jump start it, then the starter or starting circuit can't be the problem, right?

Strangely enough, some part numbers are different. e.g., PCCB brake pads have different numbers between 07 and 08, even though they look the same.

Is my battery dying?

Let me preface this by saying that the dealer just put a new battery in my '07 in the spring, saying it didn't meet the expected results of their tests. I personally had no problem starting the car,...

It's likely a leaky seal. Search on RMS. No biggie. Drive the car more, and it'll slow down / stop.
