Why does your ATV battery go dead after using lights?
The magnatron is not recharging the battery or the lights are drawing too much power to allow the battery to recharge. The best thing you can do is when you are done riding, turn the lights off and allow the machine to run for a while to recharge that battery.

Well you should charge the battery. Often times the battery will recharge itself if you alow it to sit without trying to crank it again.
If you left the car lights on all night and the car doesn't start and you just replaced the battery about a week ago does that mean your car battery is dead?
It means the battery has been drained of all it's power. Simply recharge the battery with a battery charger and it will be fine. You do not have to replace the battery, although draining the battery fully does harm the battery. Charge the battery fully and it will function as it should.
Is it bad for a battery to drain completely?
Depends upon how the battery was discharged, but generally yes, once a lead acid battery has been fully discharged from leaving lights on or similar methods which drain the battery slowly it will never recover. The only time this is not true is when the battery is drained from the starter motor due to the vehicle not starting for some other reason. In this case the battery will recharge without any long term damage provided the recharge is done within around 24-48 hours.
What is it when the tail lights stay on and interior lights stay on and make clicking sound on 94 stealth?
The engine is clicking with all of the interior lights on? Dead battery... and for future reference... if there is no clicking= really dead battery and it might not recharge. In that case check the alternator, if the alternator is still good, just buy a new battery. If the battery continues to fail to recharge get a new alternator.

Your car won't turn on but your lights and everything works but When i try to crank it the lights get dim what do you think it is?
Does the engine crank but not start? Or does it not even crank? Based on the information you gave, you could have a bad starter or weak battery. Dead battery. Recharge it or get a new one.
