Help Battery Died?
A week ago last Friday I discovered that I had left my Valentine on overnight which of course drained the battery and the C5 would not start. That Saturday I attached a 6amp battery charger to the battery and it seemed to be charging o.k. Then after about 4-hours on the charger I had to leave the house and removed the charger since I did not want it to charge unattended. Did not have a chance to return to it until yesterday 3/26 and found that the battery was still dead. Attached the charger to it and it did not seem that the battery was taking a charge. Did I kill it by trying to charge it last week then taking the charger off? Installed the Orbital on 11/08 so less that 3-years old at this point. Thoughts?

I would pull the battery and have it tested at an AutoZone or outher auto parts store, where they will charge and load test the battery. Could be your battery is okay and maybe the charger is not really working. Good luck, hope this helps.
