Driving alone will not fully charge a completely drained battery. The battery itself is likely OK, but invest in a $30 battery charger from an auto parts store or even Walmart and charge your battery overnight on the lowest setting available (1 or 2 amps is perfect). If a battery remains drained for too long, then a coating builds on the plates inside which will definitely reduce the life and output of the battery. I guarantee you that the charger will restore as much life as is available to your car battery after one full night charge. Also, to maximize the life span and output of your car battery you should trickle charge it overnight in the same way I described periodically (every 2-3 months).

If the automobile is off, and the effortless on the charger cable is off, it absolutely does no longer drain the battery in any respect. There are some vehicles the position the accent plug is stay in spite of the automobile off, yet when the effortless is going off once you turn off the automobile, it really is not on, and no matter if it really is not on, it can't drain the battery in any respect.

Your battery is OK. Get a jump to get you going and drive the car for 1/2 hour to one hour without shutting it off. Then you are good to go. You may also want to take it an auto shop so they can charge it properly. Auto zone might do it for free.

Try driving at highway speeds for about 30 minutes. See if the battery will now hold a charge. If not, take it to a place like Firestone and they will check it out for you.

Recharge it and you will be fine - but how old is the battery ? how old is your car??
if more then 4 years replace it - you will have problems again from it going bad.

It will recharge and work fine, but it will go bad sooner than it would have. Also, it will not crank as long in cold weather, but since the car is new, this won't be an issue.
