    I think you might need a new battery. But how cold was it, age of battery? El cheapo or good name battery?

    Battery age? Connections clean? Multimeter reading?

    Not cold at all.....battery could be original to the car. I'm going to go get a new one, but I guess I was just curious why it would loose its charge overnight.
    Thankfully, it's in my driveway.

    Interstate.
    But do new batteries act that way? It reminds me of nicad batteries. 100% to absolutely nothing

    Chances are it wasn’t 100%. You can put a full charge on it then have it load tested. Chances are good that it will fail.
