Hi,

Recently my car battery ran out due to radio being left on when engine was switched off.

Did a jump start and it starts ok now

But when changing gear from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th etc, if seems very sluggish and lacking power.

Any ideas of the problem?

i'd get the battery and alternator tested first and take it from there

Yes it was driving fine before.

Not tested the alternator/battery yet, waiting to borrow a meter off a friend.
 
I'd go to kwak fat or someone and get a load test done rather than just a voltage test.
Leaving a radio on will have virtually no effect on a decent battery, so i reckon either the alternator isnt charging right or the battery not holding the charge
