The Bosch made it back to store under warranty and they said bad cell....so not sure

You might want to invest in a battery tender. I have had really good luck with the Bosch labeled batteries, even though they are made by Johnson Controls in the U.S.

Yes, in fact I shot that video in the VW dealership parking lot, where one of the techs let me borrow a 10mm socket because I forgot mine. Did the work there so I could turn the core in right away.
