Default Battery wont charge

I recently hid the wires in the engine bay and I drove it for about 45 minutes afterwards, since then it has been sitting in my garage because someone hit it. I have charged my battery up since then and it had cranked fine, but now I can charge it all day and it doesnt have enough power to crank it. I am pretty sure nothing it draining power from the battery and it shouldnt matter anyways because the car is off and the charger should offset anything temporarily. My question is it a bad battery that has just gone bad or did I mess up during my wire hiding expenditure on the drivers side fender?

Test the battery with a volt meter, and take it and get it load tested, sounds like a bad battery to me. try charging it without it connected to the car if it is good.
