She had a short somewhere, which caused battery #1 to go below the dead zone. We found the short (so we thought)... charged her up and she seemed good to go. Sat in my garage for 4 days and then DEAD again. Wont start from battery#1 or #2

Wont start from a battery box/or a jump from the van

I have a new battery on order, will be here Wednesday.

I have a band aid solution for you:

Battery MINDer (certified non-manties link)

I have my battery hooked up to it in the winter months.

Well, the thing claims to make your batteries last longer than if you weren't using it (even if you drive your car fairly constantly). Could just be marketing

though.
