I tried using my portable jump starter and that didn't work, instructions said the battery had to be atleast 50% apparently in order to jump  |
The BRZ has a little power draw all the time, if you leave it for a week it will have a hard time starting on that little battery.
If its parked in a garage and you know you arent going to be using it connect up a trickle charger...no problem then. Hell ive killed mine 2 times over winter(i dont drive at all in winter) and a trickle charger has always brought it back to life.....one time i had to connect my stock car battery up for 30 minutes, then the trickle charger....voltage was too low even for the trickle charger after leaving it for 3 months over winter.
