Is it turning over at all or is the starter at least clicking? Check the water in the battery if it has removable caps. If the water is low then fill it with distilled water. If the battery went too far down on juice it may have a dead cell and need to be replaced. You could try a slow charge for 24 hours and see if the battery makes a recovery. They make a little solar trickle charger that has a solar panel that goes on your dash and has a cigarrete lighter plug. Something like this can keep your battery from dying when on long vacations. If the car is in the garage it comes with a long cord to run the panel outside.

- You should get a battery charger with a trickle charge and leave it on for at least 24 hours. You will need a slower charge to completely charge the battery. A fast charge or using jumper cables from another vehicle may not give it a charge.
