Dead battery- what could it be?

Thanks for that, good to know! But I heard you can't use a regular charger to bring an AGM battery back to life...

Okay, new information for anybody still following…

I'm pretty sure I'm on the trail of what drained the battery so quickly.

I used a friend's charger and topped off the battery, and I just put it in this afternoon. I immediately heard a clicking sound like a relay going on and off every two or three seconds.

Sitting in the driver's seat, it sounded like it was coming from the passenger door. I go around to the passenger side and it sounds like it's coming from the space under the dash above the passenger footwell, but I couldn't get in there to see any more because of the way it was parked in the garage, and then I ran out of time. Are there some relays up there?

Any idea what my next troubleshooting move should be? Thanks once again!
