Default 06 Accord Won't Start

My Pop's car won't start so I told him to post on here (what better place) Thanks guys

Here's my problem: Yesterday morning, the battery on my '06 Honda Accord (driven 44,000 miles) was dead when I tried to start it in the morning. I put a battery charger on it, but 12 hours later it still wouldn't start. So I tried jumping it with my wife's car and my car started right up. I left both cars running for 5 minutes, then disconnected the cables and started my car three different times within 30 seconds. I thought all was okay. But just to make sure, I put the battery charger on it last night. This morning, my battery is once again dead.
One more thing, the eye on the battery is green, which is supposed to mean the battery is in good shape.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Tony

Oh my god, I just saw a commercial with Gary Coleman. He's looking old as hell.

Sounds like maybe something is pulling power from the battery even when the car is switched off. This is an UNEDUCATED guess of course, but figured I'd throw it out there....

sounds like a bad battery, the green dot doesn't mean crap, its there for when they ship the vehicle. It is also only on one cell as well and 4 years and 44k can easily kill a battery.

I would guess it is just a bad battery.

swap battery with the wife if it is physically possible and see if it gets drained.
