Battery still needs a charge? If you already did that, maybe it didn't take the charge? Sometimes, when the battery gets too low, chargers don't like to start charging. I've placed jumpers from another battery on them to get the charger going, then remove the jumpers when the charger takes hold.

It would probably be worth the effort to take the battery to Autozone, or other parts supplier and have it tested.

Have you checked the connection at the false bulkhead ? This is a common problem. It's under the hood, right side, where the power goes through the part under the right side plastic cover and comes out into the engine bay. Not a good explanation, but plenty on this forum if you search on false bulkhead connection. There is also a ground under the right side that goes from the bell housing to the frame that can be a problem. Also, the ground strap at the battery itself can give problems. Just throwing out some suggestions. I had a problem Friday with my Jag. It lost all power. I called the wife to bring the jumper cables, and the second I moved the positive terminal I got a slight spark and voila, power back. Too much dielectric grease I guess.
