OK...so I'm going to guess that unless you have one of those new fangeled battery thingys that you hook on to your car while its in storage, everyones battery is dead when you get your car out for the spring. Now, I'm going to take this one step further....Durring the griving season, If I dont start my car for about two weeks, the battery is dead again....or at least doesn't have enough juice to start the car. Does this happen to everyone else, or do I have something draining my battery?

You might have something draining your battery. I put my car up in late Oct. this past year and didn't even try to start it until after the new year. Took the battery off the shelf that I stored it on and once in, the car started right up. It took only a couple turns of the key. The battery I had was a pretty low end battery also. Before I got my new car I was going to get an Optima for the car....

I think you probably have some sort of issue. Your car should be starting whether it's 2 weeks w/o starting it or 2 mos...

Just unhook the battery. The battery in our 93 stays unhooked until we get it out to drive it and it fires the car right up.
