This summer, I had my battery replaced with a DieHard (no comments, please).

This winter, my car sat for several weeks at a time, through some below zero temps. At the time, I didn't know it, but the rear parcel shelf light was stuck on, so the battery was entirely drained. It took about 30 minutes of a jump to get the car started and the battery re-charged. Since I didn't find the light on the first time, it went through this cycle twice... basically like this:: Summer:NEW--->Winter:drained-->freeze-->charge-->drain-->freeze-->charge. I had the car out yesterday for a couple of hours, and it was running very well, and the battery seems to be holding the charge. 

Should I be concerned that the battery has been damaged? Is there any way to tell? Or should just take it back to Sears to test and replace if there is a problem? 

thanks,
