12v battery not charging

My 12v battery isn't charging anymore. When I am plugged into the house my meter reads fine and I can use everything.But when I disconnect my battery doesn't show anything. Not sure now if I made the dreadful mistake of letting it drain to zero. But Ill be taking it to work as I work in an auto dealership to check it to see if I can charge it there.
Shouldn't I be able to charge it from the house. ? And if I let it get too low is that the problem.?
Disappointed..

    To charge from the internal charger/inverter, one must turn ON the battery disconnect switch (red switch in tub up front). Or you can plug into zamp plug on side of front tub with a battery float charger and leave the battery disconnect switch in OFF position and not run internal charger/inverter (by plugging in trailer). This saves wear and tear on running internal charger/inverter. Otherwise, make sure to check your fuses in fuse panel if using internal charger/inverter. Bill

    willbingham1, tell me please... in trying to charge my battery using the zamp plug on the side front tub... Never heard of that word zamp plug. Can you shoot me a picture? It's inside the tub where the battery lives? Different then just hooking my charger up to the battery terminals? Help. Thank you Daniel

    @bungalowd - willbingham has not logged on since November. Do you have a solar port on the outside of your tub that looks like this?
