you need to charge your battery, because it wasnt grounded so the charging system wasnt working properly so pretty much you were just draining the battery with out recharging it. so put it on a slow charge and hopefull it will come back.

my battery always goes down if u leave the key on and then it'l take a day or so of charging to get it fully juiced up one of our batterys was so shot we had to get a new one

That's because your CDI draws a consistent charge. You have to turn it off.

The OP, needs to trickle charge his battery back to full. I'd also clean the ground connection.
