I am a man of my word, I have it up for sale. Less then 3300 miles 95 Pace Car like new 100% original but it made me mad. First $37,500 takes it home with all the doc. and paper work going back to Dec. of 1994 when GM ordered the car for the dealer.

First off bobby777 I paid more the $25,000 for the car. Second the battery was not dead in the car when I bought it. Third I did not put a new battery in the car I put a battery tender on it. Forth if I want to ask a milloin dollars for the car that it up to me, it is my car not yours. Fifth why do you care what I do with my cars. Last but not least if you are not interested in the car then why would you even comment. Maybe it is because you are trying to be a SMART AZZ in front of other Forum Members. If I see something on the forum that I do not like or agree with i don't comment unless it is directed at me like your remarks. Maybe you should do the same.

If you guys can stop all the bickering I'd like to ask a serious question.
My car won't start after going just 4 or 5 days without driving. When I turn the key everything seems to light up, bells ringing, but all I get is the clicking sound. I do not know how old my battery is, but since it starts again and again when I am able to drive it a few days in a row, could this still mean that my battery is bad or getting there?
I'm not at all mechanically skilled, so if someone could send me a link or give me a detailed description on how to check what kind of drain there is when the car is turned off and in the garage, that would be great.
Thanks everyone.

You may want to have the battery tested though.
As for the rest of this thread.....

What's the difference between a battery tender and a battery charger. I bought a Black and Decker charger a while back that after charging will monitor battery and top it off when needed. Does that sound like what a "tender" does and is it okay to leave this charger connected for extended periods?
