Default truck wont start after battery charge

my truck is a 97 4 door 4x4, the battery died on it last night, accidently left a light on. so I charged it and put it back in the truck.. It turns over and over and wont start, I checkd the first thing i thought it could be which is the fuel pump, but i can hear it pumping. Any ideas on what it could be.

How old is the battery?

It might be toast.

just bought it couple months ago, it puts plenty to the starter, because it turns over without a problem at all...

You might want to check your fuses ?

Check fuses. Newer vehicles have fuses for the ignition, computer, and a host of other stuff. Any one of those could keep the truck from starting.

Double check your battery connections, make sure they're tight.

Get a fuel pressure guage, and get your battery tested...

It might not have enough power left to run the fuel pump AND start the truck at the same time...

Happened to my friends VW.
