Car sat at -30 degrees for a week battery was dead recharged battery will not start or anything. Power drains fast when starting. Recharged battery still will not crank over. Very cold outside.

Hello, I'm Danny.

I would suggest having the battery load tested.If you take the battery out of the vehicle and take it to your local auto parts store they will test for free. Here are a few tutorials for you to view showing how to remove the battery from your car and a load test:

It's possible the extreme cold weather damaged the battery.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
