Lights were left on. Wouldn't start (turn over) in AM. Attempted start down very steep hill and would start. Would not turn over with jump start. Won't turn over with recharged battery.

    Buy a new battery, sometimes when a battery has been fully discharged it won't take a charge properly and unless its tested with the proper battery load tester you will never know if its really good or not.
