I don't think EWS was the main culprit as you came to believe...my money is on the low electrolyte level in the battery in at least the 3 cells you mentioned. EWS may have been a victim of the "low voltage" situation...as it can be affected by low battery voltage as the inability to update the "rolling code" feature (that is part of EWS 3.3).

The temp was ~50F when we got home and the uninsulated garage would have been about the same. Of course temperature has a big effect on the cranking amps a battery can output.
To add to you comment, I guess the way I wrote the post, it made it seem as though I was blaming a faulty EWS. Exactly as you say, I meant that the EWS system locked down - as it is designed, but due to low voltage.
