I have a 2005 GT with the Shaker 500 6 CD changer and the radio resets power everytime i turn the car off, the fuses are all ok and no problem with battery. I am out of ideas, anybody ever have the same problem?

If it's original are you sure battery is ok? Did you do a proper load test? Does it reset when you turn it off or after you restart it?

It resets whenever i start the car and display says "low battery". I got the battery tested and tech says its ok, but suggested the lithium upgrade

Lithium upgrade? Why? I think an OEM battery would be fine.

Lithium is a different kind of battery. Cars like ours (as opposed to electric cars and hybrids) use lead acid based batteries. I don't think the "tech" who tested your battery has a clue.
