Most probably : The Battery is shorting within itself.
How did you charge it..with what... how long ?
Did you clean the cable and battery connections ?
Battery cable can corrode under the insulation, so look there are well.
Just take the battery to a battery test center to verify its condition.

Check all the connections, not just for tightness, but make sure that the mating surfaces are clean metal. There are eight connection that you have to check: Battery + to solenoid, solenoid to starter, battery - to ground, and engine to chassis ground.
