No start

sat in car for about an hour listening to radio with the motor off. Went to start car and all i heard was fast clicking. all lights worked. Seat didn't go to proper setting though. I got the car jumped and haven' had the problem again.

Is this normal for the car battery to go dead after an hour or so fo radio use?

My wife has an 02 Maxima. She pulled the car into the driveway and left the key in the "AUX" position for a couple of hours. I happened to be doing some stuff in the garage, and heard her car (outside) start making a weird clicking noise. I realized pretty quickly that the car had been left in the "AUX" position, and tried to start the car.

Nothing but solenoid clicking from the starter. I turned the key off and did NOTHING else to the car. Waited half an hour, and it had regained enough of a charge to start. Took the car out and immediately drove it around for 20 minutes or so to put a little juice back in the battery. Haven't had a problem since, and it's been three months.

I just think it is wierd that the battery would drain that quickly. Hope there is nothing wrong.

thats the nature of the factory delco batteries. After 20 minutes, they can start to die enoght where there will be not a sufficent amount of power ot start the car.
