That's not rocket science, just a dead battery. Replace the battery and check the charging system and you should be fine.

A dead battery is the most common case why an engine is not starting so always check your battery if it's needed to be charged..Can you recommend a brand or type of battery that last long for ensure of a smooth driving specially if you're uptown...

The battery is less than 2 years old so i tried to charge it over night with my buddies charger.. no luck. could it be the charging system? Ill try clean the terminals and see where that gets me.

Check that battery. Left dead they will self destruct especially if cold,
