"The charging systems on the DOHC bikes are known to be unreliable"

Looks like he has a 78 SOHC. But they are reliable IF kept clean

How did you kill it?

First off you have to have a good fully charged battery. charge it over night then take it off the charger and let it sit for 2 to 4 hours. If you don't have 12.6 volts or higher after the 2 or 3 hours then you need another one. Make sure all of the cable connections are clean and tight.

 I charged the battery and it still will not start.

Lets make sure we are talking about the same thing. Does it turn over but not run? Or does it not even turn over?
