I have it running through a relay and the toggle switch gets its power from a key on source. I knew that I would kill the battery if it were left up to me remembering to turn it off.

I did have an optima battery die this weekend. At a stop light the turn signal went to about half speed and the accelerator pedal didn't work. When I measured the voltage of the batter it was just over six volts. Some how I lost half my cells??? I assume it wont charge and I'm going to see if I can get some money back.
That is a bummer. I've had an optima die like that before (yellow top). Bought it through a local autozone. They took it back and gave me a new one under warranty. I don't think the quality is there anymore with the optimas, and that's a bummer.

I hope I can find my reciept.

I didn’t have mine. They just looked me up in the system and there it was. Hopefully things work out for you.
