I doubt that the battery is shot. It simply (... and gradually) lost charge over the course of the winter storage. Hook it up to a battery charger for a few hours and it should be good to go. Note that the alternative to using a BT for winter storage is simply to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

Put mine in storage first of December, started it once a month let it idle for 5 minutes or so and it still starts right up. Hoping to get it out this weekend since temps are supposed to stay above 30 after that.
