My 2002 Buick regal hasn't been driven for a few months but I have started driving it again. After driving it for about 4 hours I took a break at Tim hortons to run in and grab a coffee. 5 mins later my car wouldn't start. I had my friend give me a boost and eventually it started. The next morning it was dead again. I replaced the battery and the car started. The next morning it was dead again. So the car still dies completely after about two hours of not being driven. But i found out before getting another boost, if I put the key in the ignition for about 30 seconds the lights and radio, all the power comes back and it starts perfectly. Before that i can't even use the power locks. I have no idea what's causing this. If anyone knows anything that could help let me know.

Sounds like you may have a connection issue somewhere, likely in the battery cables but could be numerous other locations.

You need to explain the issue a little better. If you can wait a few minutes and get the car to start, the battery was never dead. Go back and observe the symptoms and get volt meter readings if possible.
Tell us what is not working and when. If the car wont start, find out what has 12 volts and what doesnt. i.e. Battery, fuses, lights, etc.
A quick and dirty test of a battery, if you dont have a voltmeter, is to turn on the lights and observe the brightness.
Dont assume something doesnt have voltage. If it turns out to have power, theres no way you can get good advice.
See what you can dig up and report results. Keep in mind that the usefulness of the advice you will get is directly proportional to the amount of detail you provide.
