My diehard is still good after numerous times of letting it completely drain. Was able to start it once after leaving the headlights on for like 2 to 3 hours. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
