Weak Battery?
ok today i was sitting in my car with a friend of mine chatting along... the car was off but the xenons and fogs were on... the stero was on too... sat for about less than 30mins.... something like 20mins and try to start the car... car won't crank for the first 3 or so tries.... i got scared.... then on like the 4th try i heard it firing it a little bit so i gave it a lil gas and it fired up.... so my question is is it normal for the battery to run out that quick? or is it just my battery weak and needs replacing?

Last several months have been VERY busy. Just sold the CLK a couple of days ago. HAdn't driven it since November. Not sure if I'm going to replace it or not.

Same thing happened to me couple of months ago. i think it is a weak battery, i also left the xenon, fogs and music on while the car was off for about 20 mins. and couldn`t start , only after several tries.
But don`t replace your battery yet, i had this problem 5-6 months ago and i didn`t replaced the battery , i don`t have problems at all, probably it`s recharged now.

do u think the xenons and the fogs could've drained the battery faster than let say leaving the stero on? cause MOST of the time i just leave the stero on and chat inside the car for longer than 20mins and the car always starts fine...? oh and it was a really wet and rainy day if that helps....lol
