SILVER Star
Background:
Had a redtop Optima battery in my 62 for seven years. The redtop always cranked and never failed me during the seven years. When the redtop finally died, I thought Ok, been seven years, I can't really complain.
Bought a new redtop in September 2016. Last week the redtop failed me. I'm aware of the redtop quality issues here of late but my battery tray is specific to Optima's that's why I went back with the redtop. When the redtop failed I went with an Interstate with the same dimensions of the redtop.
Put the new Interstate in the 62 and she cranked right up. Put her in the garage and didn't think anything else about it. Next morning I went out to start the 62 and nothing, nada, zero from the new Interstate. I had to work the next two days from 0900-2100 so I wasn't able to address the dead Interstate issue.
When I was able to replace the Interstate from NTB, I put the Interstate in the 62 and she cranked right up with no issues. Next morning same thing, dead battery.
So my question is where to begin looking for the electrical draw? I looked in the search feature with no luck. I don't know if I was using the correct verbiage when using the search feature.
I don't run any additional lighting, amps, or anything out of the norm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
