Mults, I'd been thinking #3 is the answer... but does this evidence give me a legit warranty issue to go to the dealer with? I'm unfortunately not as laissez faire as you seem to be especially considering I've had more issues with this Z than I've had with my past 3 Acuras combined.
Stosh,

It should be very easy for the dealer to check the alternator and the battery to see where the weak link is. If all are within factory specs, I would start looking at items that may be draining the battery when it is just sitting (my item #2).
