So I've been gone for a week and came back to a completely dead battery. I hooked it up to a battery charger for the night, 7 hours . This morning the battery was only 1/3rd full. Usually the battery would be fully charged, guess I need a new battery.. However my question is when I started the car this morning, I believe it was the car's alternator fan that ran louder than usual. It sounded like it was running on full load. is this normal considering the battery completely died?

Probably working overtime and trying to charge a dead battery!
