Dead Battery
I moved the Starion a while back so the roomie could park in the driveway. I run it once a week or so but haven't really driven it. Well I wanted to move it to the driveway yesterday and nothing.....completely dead. It's been about 2.5 weeks since I started it up....not that long.
The Talon always has something draining the battery. I've pulled every wire and fuse but have never been able to figure it out. I know I can't let that car sit. WTF, is it just my Mitsubishi luck or do you guys have as hard of a time with batteries as I do??
We have had Mazda's and Fords sit for a looooooong ass time and never had this problem.

A battery has self discharge or internal electrochemical "leakage" that will cause it to become fully discharged and sulfated over a lengthened period of time if stored.
I never had a prob with my red top optima, but I drive the Talon everyday.

I hate you.
I drive it.....but just around the block. I don't leave the neighborhood since I don't have a tag and it's open down pipe.
I bought a new charger/jump-start thing. Oh course I bought some organizer thing while I was at the store so instead of working on the car I spent two hours in the garage sorting out all my crap. haha....I'll work on the car next week.

Just by a new battery and be done with it. If the battery has been drained past a certain point recharging it wont help. If you are ready to run the car, go to walmart and spend 30 bucks on a battery.
Im going to have to agree with Dario
lol
