Is 6 days long enough to drain the battery?

I have heard about batteries draining on cars being stored for awhile but i started my car last saturday and now its thursday and it wont start. Is it the normal battery dying that happens to alot of cars?

I left mine for 2 weeks not too long ago and it started fine.

Yea i dont know i am charging it now so i hope it starts. And it has sat for longer than this before , but for some reason this time it wont start. I may have left the radio on when i last turned it off so maybe its that, but other than that i cant think of anything.

hopefully it was just a fluke and your battery will be fine after you charge it

Thats what i am hoping. When i first put the battery charger on it showed full battery then i turned the key and it didnt start and the charger dropped down and said it was charging. So, hopefully its charging. But, 5 days seems short to me for it to drain the battery.

i hope my battery's not dead, i haven't started my car in a couple of months.

had a similar problem and had to get my battery swapped out under warranty (only 1.5 years old). It did go dead a couple times previously as it is not a DD and sits alot. But I am diligent now about always turning the radio off before powering the car down and have a tender on it for any idle time longer than a couple weeks.

Yep, I'm 99.587162365% sure it's your battery. Mine has died twice now. I've heard to turn your radio off before getting out of the car. The shaker's amps have a slow pull on the battery. Since I have started doing this, I have not had any problems.

Mine has died randomly, be it 5 days, or 15. Its strange Ill say, and its already been replaced with an Interstate. These cars have gremlins I tell ya.
sat for 10 days and it was fine. Drove it all day, then sat for 2, step dad moved it, 2 days later stone dead. Its been in storage for 6 weeks now, and I'm pretty sure the battery will be dead when I take it out.
