You need to have a starter circuit voltage drop test done, this will locate your vehicles problem so it can be repaired.

This seems to be a reoccurring theme with Eclipse mines is doing this and it aint the battery So far ive narrowed it down to 3 culprits 1. Alarm/immobilzer (however, dealer states my 2010 didn't come with one I doubt that) 2. Bad ground, car has 6 of them ive cleaned 3 so far 3. ignition switch Im leaning to a bad ground somewhere in the vehicle though cause when I jump it ...it starts no matter what battery is in it
