This would be intriguing were it not already vein-poppingly frustrating. Just lost another fully charged new battery in the '86. The really annoying part is that the tech types just did a draw test on the system and found nothing out of the ordinary. The shop owner suggested that I start and run the car a little more often (At least every five days or so).
So it sat for five days, I go out and open the door--nothing. Abso-freakin'-lutely flat. When I got the car nearly two years ago, it'd sit for weeks in the middle of winter, and fired no problem. I've now put two fresh batteries in it, and both have had every last electron sucked out of 'em in no time. I have every confidence in my garage--been dealing with them for a dozen years-- but obviously can't keep unloading $60 or $70 just to get the Vette rolling. Thoughts/suggestions for 'em? Thanks!
