Dang, how much is that beast? I measured my voltage when i got home, a dissapointing 10.65V - pretty sure it's done for. I'm not sure if this is the normalized voltage after letting the batt sit for a while after charging (i was thinking it would increase) or if the car was actually drawing significant power from the battery during the 9 hours i was gone.

I also run alot of electrical accessories and additionally have a 3000w power inverter which connects nicely to the "extra" posts on the blue-top model. I've been very pleased with Optima...
