We are at the ski resort and mistakenly left my keys in the ignition (ON position) so this morning the battery is obviously dead. Temps dropped close to 0 degrees. The original Toyota battery has been great and has been starting quickly in these temps the last few days. First time I have done this- got distracted putting on a windshield ice cover thingy.
Have I killed the battery? Should I just get a new one form somewhere after getting a jump or will driving around on the highway revive this battery? The battery has been excellent but is probably 5-6 years old. It is one of the originally Toyota batteries before they switched to Tru-Start or whatever...certainly not getting one of those.
If I need a new battery, I have Walmart 30 mins away and probably a few auto shops too. If I were near a Sears, I'd get a nice DieHard.
