Question:
It's parked in a car port and it's winter. I went to Sears and got a new battery a couple of weeks ago. They checked connectors, starters and everything is ok but the old battery. It's been a week since i used it. So this morning i started the car it kinda hesitated. It's a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. 5o,ooo miles. i had a tuneup at 36,ooo miles.

If this happends in winter time. It is probably due to moisture/dampness. Cooler winter temps and higher humidity can cause ignition and spark plug wires to become damp and short out. Replace or coat ignition wires with spay availiable at auto parts stores. This is common problem if you live in snow/rainy/cold climates and most common on older or higher mileage cars.Also use a fuel drier in winter months to keep condensation from getting into fuel tank.
If you let car sit with out use for short periods of time it is a good idea to start it about every week or so and drive aroung the block. Helps to keep everything working smooth and lubricated. You might also consider getting a "trickle battery charger" to keep battery fresh. You can get at any auto parts store.
Hope this helps ...
you might have a electrical problem. its sound like something is not turned off, some type of a electrical load is still being applied and draining your battery. best thing to do is have a shop test the electrical system. good luck.

side note for everyone -- be sure to let your vehicle warm up once you get it started - this also means leaving with enough time to get where you are going so you don't have to rush
