My wife bought me a new redtop Optima for Christmas. A mere 3 months later(without being hooked up to the car) this thing is dead. Went to put it in the car and nothing. The voltage across the terminals is only 9.3 volts! I know that you can put a charger on these type of batteries, but is 9.3 volts just to the point were it is to far gone?

Thinking I should just return this thing. What do you think?
