Battery Problem I think

[jeff850]

Here's the story....... Went to go riding Saturday morning get on the quad and nothing. So I realized I had left the damn key on. I call my brother in law over and we jump it. I ride it to the gas station about 10 minutes away and fill it up and drive it back so it was running for about 30 minutes. I get home turn it off and try to turn it right back on. It doesn't work. So I drive around to wal-mart, Napa "marine", autozone nobody has one. I didn't want to ride to the dealership because it was an hour ride and i was ready to go. I lost one of the nuts that hook up to the battery so i let the negative cable hang. We go out to the trails and ride for about 3 hours and jump start it when necessary. Later on that night we get to the house and i just happen to try to start it and it starts fine now. I have no idea whats going on. I didnt know if it just needed to be ran longer to charge the battery or what. I need to get a nut to hook the negative cable back up to. Tell me what you think.
