Replace, register and adjust the capacity/type if necessary.
Battery test are to be taken with a huge grain of salt. These automated tester are only has good as the data they are given; and so far my experience is that most place don't punch in the proper data for an accurate test and the fully automatic units are a guess.

Update. Your hunch was correct. Even though the batter tested good twice at Interstate batteries, it was failing.
I went on driving the car using a ctek charger in between and found that the car would only start once per charge cycle. Then later not at all even thought the voltage registerred 13.5 after a charge, an attempt to start would pull it down to 11. Lesson learned, just replace the dang battery before trying anything else. Runs like a champ now.
