Why wont your battery hold a charge?
Could be the life of the battery has expired or the charging system is faulty or the vehicle has a draw on the system killing the battery when not running. Drive the vehicle to your local auto parts store. They will test the battery and the charging system at no cost. Battery is bad or something is draining it. Most places that sell batteries can check it. With it charged, disconnect it and see if it holds a charge. If it does, something in the car is draining it. Dead cell in the battery or something is on drawing power from the battery.

Why would your car battery be low after only a few hours?
As far as my experience is concerned, car batteries lower down either because of lack of battery water or due to not properly charging the battery. Check out whether these problems may not be occurring with your battery or consult with an auto electrician or you can know more about this from the following link. --------- You may want to check that your battery has a load on it, which is to say that something is on and draining your battery. Check to see if the glove box light,trunk light or underhood light is staying on. A simple test is to make sure the battery is fully charged, either by driving the car or charging the battery for a few hours. Then disconnect the battery overnight. If the battery is strong when you re-connect it the next day then the battery is not at fault. You have a "draw" somewhere. In other words - something is draining the battery.
