draining it once will not totally damage your battery. Doing it often will destroy it, but well.. Btw, if you noticed your lights were one at lunch time... your battery was probably not COMPLETELY drained.

I think driving ~30mins put enough juice to the battery to not die on you tomorrow. _I_ wouldn't worry about it. but like talnlnky says, putting it on a tickle charger is best for the battery.

Oh, it was drained alright. Even the automatic door locks wouldn't operate. When I used the key to get into the car and put it in the ignition and turned it, I got NOTHING. There was absolutely no response at all from the ignition, not even a feeble attempt to start.
