Bad battery? How long have you had the battery?

its less then 2 years but I do real short journeys which ive been told will kill the batt alot quicker just expected more from an Optima red top.
Gonna try jumping it tomorrow when I have help pushing in and out the garage.

Yeah I would start with the battery first, if you have a volt meter that would help tell you how full the battery is. For example if you have 12.8 volts then its a good indication you should have enough to start the car. If it read 12.2 volts or lower then you wont have enough to start the car. Simple tip someone else gave me kind of good rule of thumb to go by. Good luck though and post back when you get a chance.

yeah me to im hoping the battery isnt totally dead but I cant charge it yet as ive just found out it wont take a charge from normal chargers it needs to be an AGM compatible charger which figures buy an expensive battery buy an expensive charger.

Thanks For the help anyway.
