Can't seem to recharge battery

[tqtran]

The battery in my car had died a month ago during winter storage. I am planning to get it up and running since I am moving within a month.
I have the Porsche Battery maintainer/trickle charger but I can't seem to get it to work.
I know you first plug it into the cig socket before you plug the main unit in.
two ways I've done it

1)Car is off with no key in, plug the charger into cig socket, plug unit into wall, leave along.
After hourse of charging I come back and notice that I can't even turn on the interrior light, the red light on the charger is still on red, and a ticking/click sound can be heard in the rear driver side of the trunk??? Whats that?

2) Put the key in and turn the key over one click(for radio not engine), plug the charger into cig socket, plug the maint unit into the wall.
Check back hours later, not ticking/clicking but there seems to still be no juice in the battery.....

Can someone help me and tell me what I am doing wrong????
