Starting to feel it could be overcharging. The Optima charger is not available in Australia. I have reached out to Optima Battery distributor but no response to date. I tried my smaller Ctek MXS 3.8, and this charged it up. I am now disconnecting charger for periods, as auto elec noted very small drain when off, will see how we go.
