Nope, it will be fine. The tender won't charge it very fast though. As soon as it will start take it for a ride

I think as long as it didn't freeze, you should be ok. But it is going to take a while on the tender.

I bought a battery charger at Walmart. Showing fully charged - lights shine bright. Attempt to start and all I get is click, click....

Ah'd clean an' retighten the battery connections first, then trace the wires ta the starter, an' make sure they're tight as well. Sounds like a loose wire...

I'm guessing you battery cables arelooseor corroded,and that's why it went dead in the first place,maybe.
