Often if a battery is like totally dead but not internally shorted n it has sufficient electrolyte, it can take a good while before she ever starts taking amps so leave it on high charge a while n see if she ever starts drawing current. Sure you can jump it buttttttttttt a totall dead battery may be like an amp suckin drain so you might (if it has a good charging system) be able to jump the STARTER ONLY n if she starts a good genny can supply the meager 4 amps required to power up the ignition.
Id take that battery to a shop for a good test n let them try n re charge it n load test it. If your charger is only a wimply lil trickle charge Im not sure if it will ever come to life. I set mine on a high charge rate n let them set n cook a while n finally once they (if ever) take amps i back it of for a good slow deep charge.
See if theres electrolyte above all the battery plates and that no cells have a different or gray milky color??? Give her more time on a charger,,,,,,,,,try n jump start (AT CORRECT POLARITY) ,,,,,,,,,,and/or try to just jump the starter n see if she will run????? Will it pull start?? (requires a good genny like Jim mentioned)
