Well it has been sitting discharged for 2+ months now then. I talked to optima and they will replace the battery under warranty so when i get the new one ill just leave it till I can start driving it again. Yes?
Any easier ways to find what is drawing power when the car is off?

There's an 'old wives' tale about not letting it sit directly on a concrete floor, but that myth has been 'debunked' afaik. Quote:
Generally though, an unmodified/factory/oem vehicle doesn't draw very much current at all when the vehicle is sitting. Many abnormally high current draw situations associated with prematurely dead batterys are related to mods/upgrades. I'd suggest you start the fuse-pulling exercise with any circuits associated with any aftermarket electronics modifications on your Supra, such as boost controller, fuel controller, gauges, turbo timer, security system, stereo system, etc...

So Im getting a new battery free of charge from Optima, sounds like it had a short in it. Could this have been the real problem, or do I still need to find the draw?
