(Not a Car Question?)

I'm having trouble with my car starting. This evening
Sent to Car Experts February 15 12:29 AM

I'm having trouble with my car starting. This evening at 2:00 I drove my car with no problem. Got home and came out at 6:00 and the car wouldn't start. No click, no crank, no nothing, but everything else worked. when i turned the key, the fan turned on and everything acted normal, except it just wouldn't start. So I have an emergency battery charger pack that I hooked up to the top terminal posts of the battery, got in my car, and it started up, but it seemed a little weak. I took the charger pack off, turned off the car, and started it right back up just to see if it would start again and it did. I went to the bowling alley about 15 minutes away, parked the car, turned it off and back on again to see if it would start, and it did. I went into the bowling alley and came back out 2 hours later and it did the same thing before (no click, no crank, but everything else electrical wise was working). I hooked the battery charger up to it, got in the car, and it started, but again it seemed a little weak. Got home, parked the car, came out 1 hour later, and it wouldn't start again, but this time the battery charger isn't getting it to start. so now i cant get it to start at all.
