Default Dead battery

The dread "mother%$%^$%&^*ing dead battery" syndrome finally caught up with me. Of course, the car has been sitting for over three weeks AND I left the radar detector on and plugged in, so it's not something I can blame on Delco, GM, or anyone else but me - pure operator error :(

So, once my new Battery Tender Plus arrives, it should be ressurected and good as new - I hope. And my clutch foot should be back in business by then so it all works out anyway. :)

Happy Holidays everyone - looking forward to seeing many of you at the Dayton QS&L opening next month :seeya

Seems like if you let it sit [with everything off] for more than two weeks - it won't start. That's been my rule.
