Once a battery discharges to a certain level the lead sulfate can collect on the bottom thick enough to short out plates of the battery. Then it's effectively a short from positive to negative sides of the electrical system and can not be recharged. My '66 sat for an entire winter one time and the battery was so dead that the car actually ran better with it disconnected.
