Help, car wont start

so my car was in storage all winter and i had it on a charge holder...i took it out a few weeks ago and it started right up. pulled it in the garage and it sat for about another week before i took it out for a spin...had to use a jump box to start it. a week later and it wont start again. so i pull out the jump box and nothing. turn the key and the lights come on and everything, but car wont start. doesnt make a sound when i turn the key to turn it on, no clicking or anything. what could this be? any help is appreciated!

Is the booster pack dead?

I imagine if you had to boost it a week ago and it worked without a problem, and now it doesn't, that it's the same problem...

Do you have an alarm and/or lo-jack ?

The booster pack shouldn't be used to charge the battery... you should just hook it up and try starting it right away.

Is it the original stock battery? might not hold a charge anymore. It's kinda old now. I just changed mines this winter. It lasted a good 5 years.

took the jump box off the charger this morning, slapped it on the battery and after a second or two, car started...i guess the battery must have been completely drained. thanx for the help guys!
