once a lead acid battery dies, it will never hold a charge again, get a new one and dont let it sit for more then a week...

What kind of battery is it?

 

[Shanks12]

I had to replace mine last Dec because it died on me... I'd jump it but it would only hold a charge for a day.. Just had to replace it in the end.

That's if it freezes after it goes dead...

Lead acid can be recharged, even after a complete discharge... It's just not going to have as much capacity as it did before it died...

I leave mine sit for 2 weeks in the winter with no issues

or get an optima or some other gel battery, they can be drained fully (although i would not let it get under 2 volts) and then still be recharged and never notice a difference

They never reach full capacity once they are completely flat. If you catch it with some charge left in it, you may have a chance of saving it - but the damn thing might also die just when you least expect it too.
