[Is my battery too far gone?]

did you try charging it up? put on slow charge for few hours, if you tried that and it metered that still... go try buying either some distilled water and put in it IF its low, or better autozone and get some of that battery acid if its low... if not and it still meters that after u slow charge it..... lost cause
