Message	months in my non-running z (5 volts or so) I thought it was dead, bought a new one and then trickle charged the flat one up, runs perfect in my daily driver now and the new one is sitting in my still non-running z lol still holding charge of 12.5V after a year... I'm not sure if there are build quality issues or if there is that much difference between the different Optima batteries, but I have never had an issue with both of mine... maybe I am just lucky...
