Won't start at all.....HELP

First it started to turn over very slowly,but start.Then it stopped turning at all.Oil light,Battery light and park brake light come on when you put the key in but it won't turn over at all.Turned lights on,they were dim ,tried to turn it over and they went off and stayed off.Checked battery connections were tight,seemed OK but still won't turn over.
          Took battery off to charge it,my charger has lights on the front to tell you state of battery ,all lights lit up saying its fully charged.Just left it on charge anyway while I have a shower.Anyone have any ideas please………. :dontknow:

You need to charge it for a long time. Its possible that the battery is faulty, and no amount of charging will fix it.

Sounds like a dead cell - can you check the levels of each (there will be 6 of them)? Theoretically you can fill them up and add some kind of powder which makes up the acid, but I have no idea where to buy it from.
