Start the car then disconnect the nigative side of the battery. See if it runs off the alternator. could be the altanator not giving out enough volts to charge the battery and on short runs it is killing the battery. If it runs of the altanator for a few minutes then all good, may be a cell in the battery dieing.

look at the voltmeter on the dash - with no load, the gauge is showing 10V. as soon as you give that the load of trying to start the motor, it's gonna drop down to nothin.
Def. Battery / Charging

Should show a MINIMUM of 12 volts when ignition turned on or battery is in need of charging as alternator will NOT charge a flat battery ONLY keep a fully charged battery charged

my brother had his interior light staying on all the time until he realised he'd bumped the dimmer switch that runs beside the headlight switch. maybe you have made the same mistake. if it is all the way up the interior lights stay on.
also is your battery serviceable or not(does it have caps on top). if so have you checked level of water. may need a top up otherwise it won't charge.

Ha ha lol i will take option 1 thanks Blackjack, yes im lazy.. ha ah its been raining all fricken day so why not take advantage of that! Im not paying $5 for distilled water lol!
Yes well the battery itself is spotless, no fluff or ne thing so i dont know where the acid is going... Ive never had starting issues up until now, so mabe the battery is buggered. Im gonna see how it goes over the next couple of days. ive topped it up now so see if that makes ne difference..
