Battery was drain overnight in cold weather. I connected to another car by cables, but the car didn't start, not even cranked. It was only a clicking noise. After 15-20 attempts stopped clicking at all. Every day when I come back battery is drained. I connect cables to another car, but when I turn the key there is completely nothing happen. No cranking or clicking at all.

Hi,

Has the battery been replaced? If it hasn't, then I recommend removing it, recharging it, and then having a parts store load test it for you.

Also, you indicated each day you come back it's flat. Are you already charging it and it just fails again each day?

Let me know exactly what is happening. I'm a bit confused.

Take care and I'll watch for your reply.

Joe
