Blah, I tried the Exides as well and had the same problems. They do NOT like slow draws at all. I've checked and rechecked and I have no shorts but a few things that are constantly on - alarm, radio mem, etc etc. When they die, they're dead. I got a year out of this one, I guess that's alright. I've had them in my DD's for YEARS, and they will last when constantly being charged. But I think they suck balls for project cars. We've had the same problem in my buddies Landy. THe guys kept leaving the battery switched on - Painless Performance remote battery disco - well that fucker pulls about an amp. So when you leave the battery on, you're constantly killing it. THe battery that they said was completely dead was, and we swapped it out. But it now lives on in my XJ and has been fine for months now. The thing to do maybe to keep a trickle charger on it at all times. I dunno. Easy fix though, others not so much.
