Ok one day i left my parklights on all day. When I went to start my car it wouldnt start (obviously). I found someone to gimme a jump. car started fine ran fine all that good stuff. Ever since then my battery wont stay charged for more than a day if i dont start the car andlet it run or drive it normally. would my parklights being left on and battery dieing cause it to not hold charge. I dont drive the car much. In fact i may have put 25 miles on it in the last month. Thanks

 

Take your battery to a parts store and have it tested.

 

How did you recharge the battery after the lights incident?

 

A Good draining of the battery is all it takes to make a 'decent battery" go to Crap..
an Old battery will drain and may not come back..it can't perform the chemical reaction that it once had as a new battery,so it won't charge or hold a charge.
You can get that battery tested,but in my Opinion,you drained the life out of it and you should just get another good battery.(unless it is fairly new,then Charge the damn thing overnight).
I am saying that before you have to Replace your alternator too.If the battery is crap,then the alternator has too work twice as hard,and then eventually it goes too.It can't keep up charging at Full Tilt Boogie,so it Calves too.

 

ok ill take it and have it tested. thanks for all the help and info
