    The air conditioning suck the battery down. You should have turned the air off. And you shouldn't have waited till it was too late. Your battery is reaching the end of its life and by going into a deep cycle you have accelerated it drastically. he'd the warning people shut the air conditioning off when you enter the car wash it's better to sit in the hot car than to suck the battery into a deep cycle. Older batteries are printed this since they will go from fully charged to dead so easily as they get older. Deep cycling it just cuts off any lifespan you would have had.
