I tried to start my van about a month ago and there was no juice in the battery.Took it to my indy who said the battery was us and replaced it with a brand new one.That worked for a week,same thing happened-flat battery.Took the car back to the indy and the new battery was replaced.A week later that new battery was flat too.I'm tired of jigging around with cables and the auxiliary battery to get started.Any ideas where to look to find the source of the problem.The charging circuit works fine,they tell me.
