replace it.
car batteries aren't that expensive. If it continues to drain, you either have a short somewhere or the alternator isn't charging the battery. Have your car checked out, not just the battery.

Take a voltmeter and tke some readings. See what your battery is before cranking...then crank it and watch it. After a little while turn the motor off and see if it falls and how fast. If the battery voltage readout doesnt jump to like 14 volts then you have a bad alternator and it is killing your battery. If it does jump to around 14 v. then turn around then drop very fast after turnin off the motor..then you have a bad battery that isnt taking a charge. Your car should be able to sit in one spot without cranking for a week ATLEAST without killing the battery. Granted you are not leaving your lights and stereo on 24/7 without cranking the car.

Sorry, I'm a little bitter towards dealers in general when it comes to service.

I m not completely against goin to a dealer..just dont be ignorant. Go there with an idea of what is wrong and what it takes to fix it. I.E. An alignment isnt necessary to change an alternator...lol. Shops can charge you for stuff that isnt needed. Plus I take pride in DIY stuff. I like being somewhat self sufficient.
