Mine was dead too when I tried to start it 2 days ago. Already had an Optimate III battery charger as advised by Leigh but hadn't connected it yet! Still, connected it and left it charging for 1 hour and the car started with a struggle. Since then, I've permanently wired the Optimate and left it on charge. Took over 24 hours to fully charge.

Doubt this helps, but thought I'd pass this info on!
