Tony,
Sounds to me that the battery is just flat.

How long did you leave the battery on the trickle charger?

Using the charge indicator on your charger is not telling you that the battery is fully charged...just that it has a surface charge on the plates.

Hook EITHER charger up and leave it on for at least 12 hours and then try to start it again.
