unfortunately no ive been starving of cash right now because i work in a restaurant and it's dead slow. Im going to pull the battery out of my moms 04 malibu, make sure it's charged and hook it into the maro and wait like an hour. Then go back out and check the voltage. If it's lower than it CANT be just a bad battery (Even though I think mine is fried because it's drained so many times)

So I just got done putting my new rotors, calipers, and pads on and thought "While im out here, wth, ill just put the charger on the bad battery" So I did and it started charging the battery instantly and everything worked and I started her right up.. What should I do from here?

Update* So I got in my car to start it up again and looked up and noticed my dome light was on even though all the doors were closed, I made sure it wasnt just the reading lamp. My dimmer switch was turned all the way up the whole time. I think I may have found the culprit

haha I've done that before, and got stranded at school 170 miles away. The back dome light was on and I would never notice it during the day, I didn't drive around much while at school.
