One simple question. When it did not start did you jump it and did anyone possibly hook up the cables wrong? Here is a very simple but basic and must place to start. Get a battery connection cleaner. Use the internal brush on the battery terminals and external brush on the cable connections. Make sure the connections are in good shape and don't hesitate to replace the cable or cut the end and replace the connection. This is so basic but one that gets overlooked so often. Don't just assume it looks okay.
