Tired to replace battery on riding lawn mower , connected it the wrong way around because fuck me they make same shape batteries with poles reversed.
Started motor would happily turn the wrong way around but not engage the flywheel because it is mechanical cog that is supposed to flung in place when spinning.
After I had figured that out and reversed the wires the new battery was pretty empty already, went to buy a battery charger.
Turns out it was completely dead by the time I got one because I had left the ignition on , charger will not even attempt in repair mode.
Well at least the original battery would want to be charged by the charger so I can try that one again
Any tips on getting a completely flat ( but new) battery to come alive again?

Jump it from the old battery to give it enough juice such that the charger is happy.
Worth a shot , see if I can find my jumper cables anywhere
