Just to be sure that your battery charge isn't consumed by a consumer: If you are handy with a multimeter, you can also measure the current consumption when the car is parked. After a few minutes this should be around 10 mA. I measured mine a few months ago (had a dead battery as well) and the current consumption was only 6 mA, which was excellent.
My battery was very dead, after a few days the voltage had dropped to around 10.5V.
Since both the original and the replacement (Varta E44) batteries only lasted about 4.5 years, I have now changed to an Exide EA770 battery. Hope that one lasts longer.
