For all those who are thinking this the battery was fully dead when we put it on and hadn't been on the charger for 2 long before this happened

It sounds like the charger is messed up... I bet Thomas broke it. Tell him Ryan Nazaretian sent you.
Just remember to dispose of the battery properly, and also keep a close eye on that charger. Is it one of the new smart chargers, or one of the older chargers?
I'm not too fond of 'Smart' chargers after one almost burnt down my work shop. Mine had an automatic trickle charge cycle that was meant to keep on a battery. Unfortunately, it failed with a deep cycle marine battery and burnt through the large charging cable (designed to carry 70AMPS). I was very fortunate that it was lying on the concrete instead of on top of my workbench.
