Hi guys, i havent driven the corsa for just over a month and went to start it up just now and nothing responded at all  The central locking didnt work, alarm light didnt flash in fact nothing worked. Im thinking the battery might be very low but i changed the battery just b4 the summer. Does it need jump starting??? or battery charging?
Also when i switch the iginition on nothing comes up watsoever.

you got any amps in the car?
could be a bad earth shorting the battery slowly...
or your alternator may be on its way & not charging the battery enough

Im thinking the car battery too. But i changed it not so long ago but then and again i have touched the car for around 6 weeks or more. There is an amp on the car but no HU, the batt is sooo low that the red LED for the alarm doesnt even flash.
Would it be advisable to borrow those battery chargers off a friend?

Yes, its most definatly a flat battery. Like kenryso said, charge battery or jump start it, then let the alternator charge it for a while.

the battery will discharge its self if not used. next time you are going to leave it for that long disconnect the earth of it and it will stay charged
