It was flat out dead from playing music without starting it. I charged it just enough to start the truck. I drove it just down the road. I came back shut her off and 10 minutes later came to start it again. It cranked and the battery died. Why won't she start!
A battery that sits no matter where (on a cement floor or the battery box in a vehicle) will sulfate. sometimes a slow charge will break the sulfate loose from the plates. Get a new battery.
