If the battery is that dead it may take a while to charge. I have the battery tender jr. It took over night to charge a completely dead battery.

also ..how old is the battery?? and if all the fluid gets absorbed in the battery plates the battery can be come internally shorted..this is when the battery shows a full charge but when put under a load tryint to start the bike it doesnt have enough power and it will loose a charge quickly....
my advice is to get a new battery...charge it properly ..this way you do not strain your stator and rectifire charging system on the bike..because it is working harder to compinsate for the lack of power in the battery
WOW LOL I ALMOST SOUND SMART IN THIS POST
