still sounds like the battery to me, i would say odds are it's not the starter. make sure your connections are good. how long did you charge the battery?

Get a new battery. Old one is too far gone.

Wow, lots of "dead battery" posts, today! Check out the multitude of replies and "draw" your own conclusions.

It's definately the battery. I had the same problem with my wife's Vulcan when somebody (ducking under the couch so my wife can't see me hiding from what I did) left the key on the ON position all day. I jumped it off from the Jeep, and had to leave it running for most of the day before it came back to life. Long story short, try jumping it off.
