I was able to get a replacement battery for 2011 GS (Date code was 11/09) I went with the Optima red top, it was $199 and I got a $50 coupon code from their website and ordered online and picked up from my local Advanced auto parts store. My original battery apparently was bad from the dealership and if it sat for more than a day or two the battery would drop out. Advanced tested the battery and in order to print out the sheet from the tester, he had to go hook it to a fresh battery that is how bad it was lol. Now it cranks hard and starts every time first click.
