Lesson of the day, use a motorcycle battery charger for motorcycle and ATV batteries. That's the only explanation, something inside the battery went wrong after that since the battery was supposed to be fairly new. Normally I would use a load tester since it tells you more about the batteries condition, however I don't know if a car battery tester would work on a bike battery. The battery had like 13.5 volts, which we both thought was enough. A load tester probably would have indicated something wrong.
