Default Battery UPDATE

K so posted earlier this morning about my battery... didnt drive car for a week. battery was dead when i came home.

i just jumped it. went to get gas, left it on for 20-25mins. came home. turned it off.. on.. it started

but... then i turned it off again, turned it to the on position. it read 12.5 volts.. no music, no headlights... nothing on. and within less then a minute it had dropped to about 12. So what do you guys think? she dead?

Default I'd say its time for a new battery.

You could always remove it and take it to AutoZone for a battery test, or if you feel lucky jumpstart it and drive it there.
