Charged battery, no electrics

[RichGold]

Ive just had the battery off for a few days to charge it and once returned to the car there is no life at all.
No interior light when I open the door, no alarm chirp, no dash lights, nothing.
Battery should be ok after 4 days on trickle charge and the battery indicator I got with the Ctek charger shows green, so usable.
Ctek charger manual says the battery should be able to start a car after 20 hours charge (its had 40) yet there are no electrics at all as with a totally flat battery.
Battery shows 13.7v on meter.
Have I bust something? Any ideas?

Have you forgot to bolt the thin red wire back on when you have put the thick red wire back on the battery
. Its a nova there aint much to go wrong lol

Thin red wire??? Is there a thin red wire? :confused:
Its gone dark now so I guess I'll be looking for that tomorrow.

Failing that I have 5 RAC callouts to use before June:)

Just a google image but you can see the pos wire bolts on to the side of the battery clamp . https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181229/90201b215bc7f5841b2edab473bcc545.jpg

That will teach me not to do simple things like connect a battery when it's going dark
The small wire had fallen off the bolt.
