Edit: I was going to say no prob but never mind, a running car can tolerate that low a voltage but not one "at rest".

yeah, but there's just no available current at that draw.. especially from an OEM battery. This baby wasn't meant for deep cycling.
and usually when terminals are this crusty on a dead battery, I wouldn't even hold hope that the battery could hold a charge even if we did get it started.
