That's a lot of good info to check. Once I get the optima battery I will have things checked out.

To answer preious questions, The car is completely stock with 9k miles. When I had the car delivered to the house (too much snow when bought) we had to leave the car running in the trailer to assure it started when it made it to the house (15 minute trip). We alreaedy knew the factory battery was bad and a new battery was on order. When I got the new battery, I trickle charged it to full charge then installed it. I then started the car and ran it for appx 15 minutes. The car was put back in the garage and two weeks later it was at 4 volts. There had to be a major draw somewhere or the new interstate battery was a dud.

Since the original battery was bad and the car probably required several booster starts, do you think the alternator was damaged in the process of jump starting?
