Ok, I got to test the voltage out today. Today it's about 38F.
V reads 12.14V    The car starts and stays on today (because it is warm).
After starting the V is 14.18V (so i know the Alt. is working fine.
Should the V be that low?   It's sat for 3 days without running.   I assume if it was colder out the V would be 11V something?
Thanks again all!

12.14 seems a bit on the low side, but as long as it doesn't drop too far during the actual cranking, it should be okay. Have you measured power off drain on the battery? Probably not an issue since you said it works fine off a key start though-
I guess you want to try it in the conditions that it fails, just for comparison, though it's a pain to hook up all the meters before doing a remote start; kinda defeats the purpose.

it's suppose to cool back down to the 20's over the next couple of days. I will test the V's again then when the remote start fails to work correctly and report back.
I just got this battery like a month and a 1/2 ago, it's a Yellow Top Optima brand new, i never would have thought there would be a problem with it.   If she drops into the 11V range when it gets cooler out i'm taking it back and getting it replaced.   We will see.
