Default Sportster won't start!!

First post here guys...

I have a 2013 iron 883... It has 1500 miles on it... I had it in the garage over the winter and we had quite a cold winter. The bike was not hooked up to a trickle charger for about 6 months. I hooked it up to the trickle charger and let it charge for a week the charger said it was full so I try to fire it up and all I get are clicks. The headlight doesn't dim when I try to start it. Could it be as simple as the battery is shot or something else? Thanks guys....

Get a new battery. Could have froze.What does the volt meter read that will tell the truth.
