That continual parasitic drain kills them, apparently.
However, you have just proved them all wrong. How do you feel?

True, my parents had a Buick Lesabre my dad had to put on a maintainer on it all teh time when not in use. They only drove it 1 or 2 times a month and the battery would drain. After replacing the battery 2x under warranty, Dealer GM mechanics told them nothing they could do, told them they had to drive it at least once a week to charge teh battery.
After teh Buick sat for 3 or 4 weeks, but does not explain why some are bad from the store, and will not charge up. Suppose they could have sat on the shelf too long and died.
