Car bettery is dead, need help ASAP

I have a 95 lt1, and yesterday I changed out my plug wires with some 8.5 magnecors and replaced my coil with a new one from accel, it came with the ignition upgrade wich I have not installed yet. Before I started working on the car I made sure to disconnect the battery. After everything was done I took her out on the town. Drove many places with no problem. Came home, car sat over night, and now she wont start, when I turn the key all the lights in the dash are dim and when I try to start it everything start flickering. What could have drained my battery? I want to get this fixed before I go to work tomorrow, I dont want to jump start it to get there and then be stuck with a dead battery when I go to leave. I live very far from my job =(.....

Are you sure you didn't leave any lights on or anything overnight?

If you took off the alternator to do the plug wires make sure everything is connected and snug. Just jump start it and see what the voltage is.

I figured it out, I took off the battery terminal and noticed it had come lose. I rethreaded it and it started right up. I hate the terminals being on the side. Oh well, I'm glad it was something simple.

Thanx for the help guys!
