Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Maybe the answer is to actually drive the car
Dude i had the same problem with my red top. The first time i re worked my front end in the body shop ( it didnt sit for that long) the damn thing was completely dead. I was kinda shocked. Ive tried braile batteries. I still have one of their lightweight carbon race batteries. Its pretty cool. CCA is really low and i think the CA was only around 700 something. but they make bigger ones too i think.

BTW fuel cell looks super.
