where did ya get that from? maybe you have a slow draw in your electrical system. my red top will sit all winter out in the tent. i'll let it sit a month or so at a time ( i try to start and warm it up about once a month, month and a half during winter ) and the car fires right up. that thing has to be about 5 years old by now.
i have read a few posts saying the optima isn't what it used to be ever since johnson controls run the show now. but i really don't know. i believe mine was bought before they started making them..
i have a few friends running the duralast from auto zone and they have nothing but good to say about them.
