Well i think i permanetely killed my battery from letting it drain overnight.

Would that ruin a battery?

Ive been jumped several times today and im letting my car charge as we speak right now. Im going to let it charge for 5-10 minutes and if that doesnt work i guess its either my alternator or my battery.. .I hope its not my alternator i would be so ****ed

if its not a deep cycle, it most certainly will. all regular cycle batteries are made to be deep cycled (ran completely) dead and charged back up 1-3 times before it will be permanently damaged.

yep. youre due for a new battery:naughty:

but just to be absolutely SURE, if you have a dmm, put it across the battery and check voltage while the car is running. it should be 13.5 or above...

good luck man, electrical problems are the worst...............this happend to me and it was due to a non-working remote inside of the amplifier..... i couldn't figure it out, i ruled everything out and then replaced the amp. . . fixed the problem......

After jumping it off, did you drive it for any period of time? If so, how long?
