T.J.'s right it needed a charge. First off what kind of battery is it? I would let it thaw completely, bring it in the house if your sig. other will be ok with that, then charge it with no less than 10amps. Shocking it with a 40amp start/boost may not be the answer unless if after 6-8 hours of a 10amp charge the battery the battery is unresponsive and then ONLY with protective gear on, outside and for no more than 5-7 seconds one time. Check for case cracks and cracks around the posts. ALWAYS wear safety glasses and gloves around battery's, I prefer a face shield when they are charging. I have seen wwwaaaayyyyy to many blow up due to the instability of the battery. Be safe
