Default Street Glide Electrical

I have an issue with my '11. I rode to the store, came out and tried to start it and it lost all electrical power. I turned on the ignition, hit the start button, it cranked once then went completely dark. Any ideas? I checked all battery cables and everything was tight, including the ground.

Check to make sure the battery cables are tight on both ends too. My bet though is the battery is toast.
