I have a '93 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S. Several months ago, I accidentally left my interior light on at work and drained the battery. We replaced it with an Interstate battery from our shop, but during the winter, my car wouldn't start. We jumped the battery, but at least 3 times now the battery has ended up drained, and the car won't start.
I have left nothing on inside the car, no lights, nothing. The only thing that stays on is the interior clock. Our mechanic can't find anything inside or outside the car that is constantly on to drain the battery, and almost every day I crank it and it struggles to start, and today it's dead again. He even got it fully charged up one day, with no signs the battery is bad, but it's been struggling to start ever since.
Would this call for a new battery, assuming the current one is bad? Or what else could I be looking at?
