Default 2004 Polaris Predator 500cc Won't Crank

Edit: Resolution was replacing the battery, solenoid, and starter.

Hello all, I have a 2004 Polaris Predator 500cc that will not Crank. I rode it a few weeks back then attempted to ride it 2 days later. When I did it clicked like the battery was dead. I thought no problem ill charge it. When I got it connected to the battery charger it showed it already had 12v but i left it on until the charger showed it was full. I let it sit for a day then checked with my multimeter and it showed 12v. I connected it back up and now when I turn the key on I do get a neutral light and have verified the switch is set to run but nothing happens but the neutral dimming. I tried bypassing the solenoid it still doesn't crank. I thought it was my solenoid since I didn't get any voltage on the solenoid (verified the side connected to the battery does show 12v) when pressing the start. I do hear the solenoid click when I press the start. I have replaced the starter and solenoid at this time. Next up I will be replacing the battery.
