I wouldnt recommend doing that often then. Thats a pretty drastic voltage drop from the running voltage it should be at with the car just running. Almost 2.5volts... Anyways that doesnt sound like that could be a good thing on the battery doing that too often, But then again Optimas rock as far as having lots of power. Never had any problems with mine, but I also dont have as much electrical nonsense as you haha

Aside from that my system can pound and my light will never dim. This is with AC, highbeams, TV's, Trunk TV, Carpc and everything else. off ONE optima. I disconnected the second battery for test purposes.

Battery had a constant voltage of 12.01 with everything blasting...
