So, my second new battery since October is dead as a doornail and my little charger says "Check". I didn't drive my car for about 5-6 weeks. The last several times I drove it, it started fine, charged fine, no idiot light.

What have I done? or what has it done? to the battery? I'm not sure NAPA will be thrilled to give me another one, but I will try in the morning.
