I would put a heavier charger on it for 5 or 6 hours, something that will put out 8-10 amps, then check it again. If it hasn't come back by then, it sounds like a new battery is in order. If you are in a cold climate, and that battery is outside for very long at that level of charge, it may freeze. Or maybe it already did?
