Apparently the yellow top in my WRX at KSpeed is dead-ish now too since they've just been cold starting my car twice a day for the last 8 months without ever running it. Which sucks because that was basically a brand-new battery that went into the car just before they got it since it replaced my old yellow top that had died from the same treatment from the previous time it was living at the shop.
That is a bummer. Are they all out of warranty? You have the worst luck with Optimas! I'll take whatever you have and give you trade ins if you need/want them. Optimas are a tough salvage since you can't rehydrate them which is usually how they fail. I have better luck with Gel cells than Optimas, but will try anything.
