Help.....Car Won't Start

["Bob Thomason" <rdt7@xxxx>]

I'm still new to my car and it seems to have some sort of electrical bug that has now prevented it from starting. I drive this car daily but sometimes the battery goes dead undetermined reasons. Not often, just occasionally. 

Got in it this afternoon and battery was dead. Tried a jump which has worked in the past but engine would not budge. Got a normal voltage reading on the dash meter and radio, etc. worked. Engine just wouldn't turn over. Let jumper cables stay attached while other car kept running for a while to charge battery----no luck. What could be keeping the engine from turning over??

Only other clue is that the car was having a very slight difficultly starting in recent days. Like it didn't want to fire. Previously it would just start right up.

I also have a Code Alert alarm system. I don't know if it's connected to the ignition in any way. Normally what happens is when I connect jumper cables, the alarm goes off. I hit the disarm button on the remote and start the car. Only this time it wouldn't turn over. 

All suggestions appreciated.
