[Supras] Anyone have any issues with the Exide Sub Zero78DT Battery?

[Bob]

Have you checked for a battery drain... Sure sounds like one.

I can't quote numbers but just a small drain can drain a battery in a couple
of days.

I traded my Exide battery for an Optima Yellowcap deepcycle and have not had
a problem since. Before, if the car just SAT for more than 3 days, I needed
a jumpstart, now I can go weeks and it will start right up.
