how long has ur battery lasted

How long as ur battery lasted. I have a 2001 pro and today I went to start up my car and it just "click,click,click,click,click" it sounded like my starter when out. So I got my dads truck and gave it a charge, after that the car just started up.
But that's not all, I shut down my car and let it sit for an hour and then start it up again and the same thing happened.

do u guys think that something is draining my batt.

if for some reason your battery got low....just jumping it once and not getting out and driving it so that the alternator will charge it up good....I would expect it to NOT start in an hour....

do you have a battery charger? as in a trickle charger? if so....disconnect the battery and set it up and allow it to charge for 6 to 8 hours on a 6 amp charge.....then see what happens?

OR you could take the batter to somewhere like AutoZone, they have battery testers...it will test the battery under LOAD.......

IF you battery checks out okay...then I would suspect that you have a dead short somewhere that is draining your system.
