Sounds like you drained the battery, just a quick drive home is not enough to fully charge the battery.

Stick a meter on there when the car is running. Then you can tell if the alternator is a prob or not.

Nuke is dead on right. That OEM battery takes a huge dump when it goes. Swap it out for a new one and call it a day.

If you still have warranty dealer will switch it for free. Only bad thing is you get another of those crappy stock batteries. At least you bought some time

I found out the hard way leaving my lights on all day when in high school.
