Help with battery (I think)
Alright, my battery died about a week ago. So i took it in to get it fully charged. My car is working fine for about 2 weeks with no problems. Then today I walk outside to start it, and absolutely nothing happens. No lights, no sounds, nothing. So i get my friend to jump me, and the jump works fine. I get home and turn my car off, then tryed starting it again and the same thing happened. No lights, no sounds, nothing. Do you think the battery is dead? or could it be the starter or alternator... any input will help. Thanks.

battery COULD be dead...personally I would clean the battery terminals first and get some sealer stuff on them and retighten all of them. Jump the car drive around for a while. If it happens again that I would say your batter was no good....this is all ASSUMING your alternator works ok.
You really should load test the battery and alternator.

Something is staying on that should'nt be or a wire could be chaffing somewhere. That is what is killing your battery, you could have an array of problems. I'd tell ya to get the alternator to get checked first before looking into a drain problem.
