A brand new Optima wont last overnight and my original optima was fine after getting it out of car.
This is quite a lot of drain cant do much else in the middle of ice storm.
The difference in amps sounds like a diode.
Any opiinions would really be appreciated.
Did the stickey key mod when I first got the car it was one of the reasons it was in the weeds.
Help
Thanks to every one.

Hi Kem, might have been a better solution to make a new post, seeing as this one has been dead for so long. About your battery drain, there are quite a few help topics already discussing this issue, have you done a search for 'battery drain' yet? Good luck!
