Default Yay, a dead battery

Took Scotts car over to my friends tonight, where its gonna be worked on. Came out to leave, no start. Jumped it, started fine, drove home. Get home, turn car off, try and restart, nothing again. Car was in storage over winter, I assume the months passing took its toll on the battery?
Does this sound correct?

I have a similar problem with my CGT. I don't get to drive for months at a time while im at school. my battery is inevitably dead whenever i go home, so yeah sounds about right to me.

Default Yes. Check battery cables while your at it!

Check battery voltage would be the easiest way. Let it sit overnight, check it. Obviously, if its lower than 12.5 there is a problem. Goodluck shaggs!
