Thanks to those who have been so adamant about keeping this "issue" at the forefront, and implying, if not outright stating that it affects anywhere from 1/4 to 1/3 of all '05 C6s, every instance of a dead battery in a C6, especially if it is an '05 manual transmissioned C6 is a case of dead battery "syndrome."
This is yet another "case" of "DBS" which is nothing of the sort. And a big part of the reason why this "issue" and the term "DBS" probably won't go any further than this board, thank goodness.

Sarcasm is hard to put across when using the written word. You need to use a few smilies... Here are a few you can borrow.
