Take the car to the car parts store and have them run a check on the battery and the charging system. I have purchased brand new batteries and they were bad.

Car acts like a dead battery. I can jump start it just fine and it will run as long as I need it to. But when I turn it it won't start again unless I jump it. But I just tested the battery with a volt meter and it read 12.4 volts.

12.4 is very minimum for battery have it tested for condition including load test. Check items in pic if you have a security system reset it if no manual look online.

I have gone through 2 car batteries in the last 7 months. Everything is turned off after use of said vehicle. Yesterday I drove it and a few hours later when I went to drive again the battery was completely dead. Thanks

I would start with the alternator check. Put a voltmeter on the battery when running and it should be at 14.5 volts

O.K. So even with a jump start the car won't even click so too speak therefore I'm unable too check the alternator.I forgot to mention that the last time I went to restart said that there was a strange beeping sound (NOT SEAT BELT ALARM) even with car shut off.

There's a possibility that there is a parasitic draw on the vehicle

Wow, It turns out that it was just the damn battery after all therefore (NEVER PURCHASE BATTERIES FORM A BONE YARD). Thanks for all the advice and if I weren't living/getting by on a V.A. Pension I'd always donate to you all
