Time then for a new battery(!) However if all 3 cells are OK, stick your trickle charger on it(charger + to battery +, and - to -) then plug it in. If the battery is OK the trickle charger will bring it up sufficiently to start the engine after about 24 hours. However if it does NOT figure again on a new battery.
