Use a digital multimeter across battery posts, everything off, the generic spec for a full charge is 12.6 volts. If much below that, put a charger on the battery and get it charged up. Make sure the battery connections are all good, as you mentioned. Then we'll see if starter motor will crank the engine, if I understand your post correctly?
