    89 Civic. I left with car radio on for two days. When I tried the engine,
    no sound. The headlight is on but it's bit low. I checked the battery
    voltage it's about 8.25V. I tried the jump. It did not work. Did the
    battery totally dead? What shall I do? Can I recharge to make it full?
    Or shall I just get a new one?

    Don't charge a frozen battery. If it's not frozen, put a charger on it
    for several hours. If it's a 3 amp trickle charger, overnight would be
    better.

    If the battery is already 5 years old, go to store.

    Your car should have started with a boost. You have other problems, like
    a tune-up is needed, frozen gas line, or oil too thick. Read you user's
    manual for tips on starting in extreme cold. The manual is the final
    authority on such matters.
