Inclusive posts are misleading. I would suck a blue spiral battery down to resemble a strip of beef jerky in less than a day. Your mileage may vary.
And this is helpful HOW? If the Optima batteries are no good what is better?
You are missing Mex's point I think.It's easy to do.
Your issue is not with the type of battery. Any and all batteries will drain down if there is a load on them. I think you a have a parasitic load. (that is CO detectors,smoke alarm,radio clock or other items that are still on and draining the power from your battery.
Try charging the battery (which may be ruined if it has been drain completely too many times) and then disconnect the negative (-) cable once you reinstall it. Leave the cable disconnected as a way to ensure the battery is off and nothing can drain it down.
