Default PLEASE HELP S2000 PROBLEM

Since we had a nice day here in Chicago I decided I should start the S up and drive her around my subdivision. I uncovered her (she hadn't been started in about a month) and got in. It is kept on a maintainer throughout the winter. To my surprise I had ZERO power what so ever, the remote key less entry wouldn't work, no lights, no sounds, not even the sound when the door is open and keys are in the ignition. First thing I did was check the battery, it was new last year. I took it out and made sure it had a full charge (i even tried it on two different chargers) to which they both showed full charge. I then checked fuses and couldn't find anything blown. The car is an 05 with 23K miles and is kept up meticulously. ANY HELP OR GUIDANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THIS HAS NOW RUINED MY WEEKEND!!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks
Tim

jump it off with another car and let it run for about 10 minutes to charge the battery. Turn it off and if it doesn't start again then the battery is bad.

have the battery tested at a local parts supplier for free, it could be an internal problem with the battery despite what your chargers say.

Sounds like a battery to me. I've had multiple batteries go bad, but still show a full charge on a battery tender. The good news is most batteries have good warranties. I'd get a new one and try it out first.
