I left my headlights on for about an hour and the battery died. Nothing works, no lights on the dash, remote trunk/powerlocks do not work. I took the battery inside and let it charge for 45 min - 1 hour, and nothing. Before I took the battery out, when I turned the key, there were 2 distinct clicking noises, one from the engine, the other I don't know. Now after the battery was 'charged', there is no sound at all from the engine when I turn the key, the engine doesn't want to turn over and there is no juice anywhere, the charger was on 12volt, 10 amps (trickle). What's up with my battery?

you possibly killed the battery so bad even a charge won't fix it. By the way it's gonna take a hell of a lot longer for a trickle charger to charge a completely dead battery. I have a battery charger on wheels and in my other cars I would put the charger on engine crank for the first 10-15 mins then take it down a notch.TRADED IN BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN: 2006 GT Coupe in granite metallic, 15/5% tint, vinyl side marker deletes, Doctor Speed Stage 3 CAI, RED calipers by DupliColor, RED LED interior lights, 45 LED tail lights, WideView 8000K HID coversion kit, Nokya Artic White fogs installed, running MoBil 1, FIRST ever granite metallic color matched headlights!!

I'd invest in a new battery. This has been discussed many times. Try the search feature up top and you will find some more insight in this problem.

I had the same problem. Call a dealer and have them fix it. It will still be covered under warranty.Comment

I understand the car's battery is dead but if you are talking about your G6. It should not have happened. You see Gm cars and trucks have what they call RAP. RAP stands for Retained Accessory Power. Which turns off anything that might drain the battery if left on after ignition is turned off. It turns everything off after about 10-20 min. Radio and ect. 
Just some info to go by.

You're probably thinking of battery run-down protection, which shuts off things like the interior lights after 10-15 minutes to save the battery. Headlights are not included in battery run-down.
RAP is something different - just keeps power going to the accessories (radio, windows, sunroof, heated seats, etc.) after the key is turned off for 10 minutes or until the driver door is opened.Comment

Thanks for all the help guys. My problem wasn't a dead battery. When I reconnected the cables to the battery I didn't turn the screw on the negative terminal far enough. I turned it not even a 1/4 turn and it started right up.
