If it was a fault that was earthing out the battery then it would flatten it pretty quick. My suggestion would be to remove the damaged earth connection, then stick a charger on the battery and try again once it’s got some juice back in it.

Somethings not quite right though, an earth fault should cause the fuse to blow, as it’s pulling too much current. It sounds to me like that hasn’t happened, so check your fuse box as well.
