[QUOTE="Rumur, post: 1931047, member: 24442"] Sounds like a bad battery to me. The reason I say this is because a battery is just a storage device. When you got the car started it was running on the alternator which it is supposed to do. It was able to keep the car running and charge the battery at the same time therefore allowing you to start the car again in a few minutes. If the battery is bad it just wont keep the charge overnight. Your local AutoZone can check the battery for you while it is in the car. It could also be that you have a draw on the system that drains the battery overnight. To check for this take off the negative battery cable and put a volt meter in line. Put the positive lead on the negative battery post and the negative lead on the cable. If you show a voltage reading then you have a draw. Start popping out fuses until you find the circuit that the draw is on and you can start checking for wiring problems from there. One caveat is that you must make sure that everything is off in the car. If you have anything plugged into a power port in the car, make sure it is unplugged. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
