As with all other car batteries, charging is very slow if you're just idling your engine. After jumping it, be sure to drive it around for at least half an hour, preferably at higher speeds. If it's still not turning over, it's probably time to replace the battery.

Also, if you're just starting it every weekend without actually driving it, you're actually doing your battery a disservice--it's being used to start the engine, but it's not getting charged significantly.
