Battery Power Down

Just wanted to check in. I installed the DR600GW-HD w/Power Magic PRO in my BRZ January 26th. I went to start my car today, Feb 28th, and it didn't have enough juice to start. It just had enough power to run the interior lights, dash, radio, small stuff.

When I checked the voltage, it was at 11.76 volts. I thought that the Power Magic PRO is supposed to prevent this from happening.

I have all the jumper settings 1 through 5 set in the UP position. This is the setting for 12V (+/- 0.1 volts), 6 Hrs.

Anyone else had this issue?

Maybe the problem is that the car is only driven 3 miles to work and 3 miles back and it doesn't have enough time to get it fully charged.

To make it worse, it was left in the cold 30 degree weather for 26 hours.

I have it on a trickle charge and might add it to my daily routine after work.
