Default dead Battery???? or wiring problem???

Today I installed my nitrous kit and my hood was open for about 6 hours and I cant remember if I left the radio on or not but now my battery is toast , well i think its the battery. It will not crank it makes that ticking sound when your battery is dead. If you jump start it or roll start it she fires right up and runs totally fine but will not restart after I turn it off unless jumped. The indicator on the battery is green and the amp gauge is normal while driving. Is my battery dead or do I have another problem ?????

The only wiring in the cars harness I had to tap into is fuel pressure sensor and throttle position sensor, but I dont think its related to the problem because why would a jump work????

Use a multimeter to check your voltage. It should show at least 12 volts. Make sure your terminals are clean and tight. If you have an Autozone or Advance Auto in your area, they will check your battery/and or charging system for free. Good luck.
