That happened to me 2 seasons ago.
Turned out that leaving my battery connected over the winter, and the fact that my alarm ran it out of juice, was not good for the battery.
Replaced it 2 years ago and store it unhooked.
Every 3 months or so, I'll take it out of the car and charge it.
It is now charged and ready to go.
Probably more towards the end of this month though.

it depends on the age of the battery, same thing happened to me last year, I would charge it and eventually if I left it long enough it wouldnt hold a charge anymore. New battery solved that.

Started mine up yesterday as well. Bought a new battery because the other one was dying last year.
Now it's tucked away at a super secret location in Cayuga. So I can slowly get everything done. Hopefully two weeks and it'll be on the road again. Yesterday was such a tease.
