Need advice. Truck won't start

Hey guys, finished work today and went to head home and realised I had left my lights on and my battery is flat! Not even getting a click! Tried jumping it and nothing? Any ideas what it could be?

battery cable connections at the battery. sometimes a little corrosion will prevent even jumping the battery

I think you answers your own question. Battery is dead. It could have a dead cell now. You may have to leave the jumpers on it for a while.

all sorted, as soon as we hooked it up to another truck she started. I think the new car I tried with first must not be good for jumping.

Thanks guys
