John, I have had a virtually identical experience, 2 year old battery on the vehicle, left on maintaining charge on a ALDI smart charger, max current 0.8A attempting to start vehicle - no starter motor action. I have tried boost charging the battery several times with intervals between; no joy. I no longer leave the maintaining charger permanently connected but have reverted to my earlier practice of a "top-up" charge once per month.
I have had plenty of experience with wet lead acid batteries over the last 50 years but I am at a loss to explain this.
