Car Battery Problem!

I left my headlights on for about an hour last night before I realized it and I had to jump start my car. The next day I had to the same thing. I thought the battery recharges? What does this mean?

solar is an unknown quantity at this point
Did you run the car for about a hour after you jumped it, with all the accesories turned off? Basically asking if you gave the alternator enough time to recharge your battery? If you did all of the above than its possible that you might have shorted the battery, but I'd first take to a shop and have them charge it, a good shop will have a heavy duty high amp charger, which will charge your battery quicker than your alternator.
