If you leave the key in the ignition of a lawnmower will it kill the battery?

"As long as you put the key in the off position, the battery will be fine. I have had a few lawn mowers with a key start and have left the key in them with no problems."
This is an inaccuracy - From 2006 on there is a sensor on the igitions which will trickle drain the batteries as it complets a magnetic circuit when the ignition is off.

Why does the car beep when the door is open and the key is not in the ignition?
Most likely because you left your lights on. Every vehicle plays some kind of chime or warning when you open your door to leave your vehicle when you have the keys out of the ignition. This is to prevent you from leaving your vehicle unattended with the lights on, so you don't kill your battery.

If you leave a battery in car for the winter and not turn it over will it kill the battery?
Not it it is a good battery. I suggest if you are going to let it set for an entire winter, disconnect the positive battery cable. It should be fine if it is a good battery that is fully charged. You might want to put a charger on it next spring just before trying to start the engine after you reconnect the positive cable.

have you checked the ignition, just had the same on our Renault van, after starting the vehicle the ignition still stays as if you are trying to crank instead of the key returning, automatically shutting off the need for the alternator resulting in the alternator staying on burning out and drainig battery
