Default dead battery
i had the car stored away for about 8 months and forgot to disconect the battery...i tried to start it up and it was dead...i gave it a boost and let it run for about 30min but when i went to start it up the next day same shit happened...do you think i need a new battery or maybe just a battery charge?

if you jumped it and let it charge and it didnt hold it, then its dead.
