Optimas are totally pieces of shit btw. Don't care what anyone says. Had more of those things go flat on us than any other battery.
A lot of these aftermarket electronics that are meant to have very minimal draw, will still draw enough to kill a battery over time.
Most recently we had a car that kept killing batteries and figured out it was the Remote Proximity Keyless Entry. Faulty control module. It was always searching for a signal (as it's suppose to) but the draw was too high.
But yeah...what's this winterizing shit? LOL

Yup Optimas are shit. I killed 2 of them before I went to a Duracell.
I have an RFID keyfob w/ pushbutton start, and a programmable smart harness that will kill a battery in about a week to 10 days if I don't put a charger on it or use the battery disconnect in the trunk. I think its doing the same type thing looking for a signal all the time or something.
