Yeah all '12V' lead acid batteries are actually supposed to put out 12.6V (6 cells at 2.1V each, in series), and my car audio one actually says my warranty is voided if it is dropped below 11V.

Keep us updated if you see more drainage.

I am curious how this new interstate will handle Monday up here in MN. Our low temp on Monday is going to be -22, and the high temp is going to be -15°f. Coldest air we have seen up here in 20 years.

Its been handling the cold well the last few days, about -11f at 6:45am when I start it.
