Default Vette won't start

I covered my "99 on Saturday and didn't try to use it till this morning. When I turned the key all I heard was a click, is this my battery? If it was why did it drain, I use my car almost everyday. I replace the battery in September and have put on 10, 000 miles since then.

Thanks for any help I'm a femal and don't know much about cars.

Thanks, Annette

Sure sounds like your battery. Mine just did the same thing after a two week vacation. I bought a charger and recharged the battery and it seems to be OK. I don't know what causes these to drain so fast but I've read that all the electronics require some power all the time. I also bought a battery tender to keep it fully charged when I'm away so that it won't happen again. Charge it up and if it holds the charge you should be good, otherwise you just might need a new battery.
