Ok so I just started my car and the break light and battery lights are both on. And well I was going to eat so the car sat for awhile and then I started it again. And the problem continues. I have a ets mini battery. Can i get some input?

Generally mini batteries die quicker and don't hold much voltage opposed to the OEM size ones. Also if you live in a cold climate, you'll have issues starting your car with a mini battery in sub zero weather. I would check the connections, but consider going to the OEM route. You give it up for the short route UICP for performance, but it's your decision.

Does anyone recommend a better mini battery?

If you have some significant disposable income, you might consider a lithium ion battery. Very light, very small, but very expensive.

I've heard good things about the Braile lithium batteries.

Good luck.

Ok so I can jump start the car and it willl run fine. And then the volts will slowy go down. What does that sound like?

Anytime I have seen both the battery and brake light on in an EVO it was the alternator. Test it out man

if your batt keeps dying it could be your alternator. I have an AMS mini and Im running with two amps and subs and my batt is fine.

+1, I would go this route if I was going to do a short route UICP, it's very clean and a lot easier to work on the engine.
