I think this evo has passed on to a better life...lets all have a couple of minutes of absolute complete silence........................................... .................or you can jump start it like the previous guy said, it doesn't matter if the battery is 2 days old, if you let the lights on, the battery will die, its just a matter of jump starting it, which is really simple if you don't have the cables or don't know how to, just ask somebody. Also in rare occasions, you might have a defective battery, this will become evident if you jump it, and it dies again without you leaving the lights on. If that doesn't help, then the serpentine belt might be torn, or problems with the alternator, if your a noob just ask somebody who knows....etc...

Check and test battery - jump start/charge if dead. Is this a small battery?

If Battery looks good it could be starter problems.
