In May my car battery died. Our mechanic replace it with an Interstate Battery. All was fine until 2 weeks ago.
My car would not start, My husband had to jump start it. It was ok until yesterday. Put the key in, turn it, nothing but a click sound. Dead battery again. Husband jumped start it again.
late last night, it was dead again.
this morning my husband jumped start it again. What could be causing this?

what.
I do not leave any lights on, no radio, nothing.
