I've had the 51R in my car that is rated at 495 CCA at zero degrees for a couple of weeks now. I've let it sit for a 5 or 6 days and I go out and it starts right up. jpandes, you maybe right and and have something draining it. Or possibly a bad battery maybe??? Just a guess.

BTW CCA = Cold Cranking Amps
