Default can pulling pcm fuses kill battery?

In an attempt to try an "easy fix" with clearing the column lock message on my dic, I removed fuses 23 and 25(I think?.... Followed online advice I read).... And things happened where I was not able to put them back in until 2 days later. Battery was now completely dead after I plugged it back in. It doesn't even click when turning the key to start the car.

I looked up my ac delco battery date online and it was made in Feb of 08. Bought car Sept 2010... Battery has been jump started twice after working on it and leaving doors/hood open so what I am asking is, should I just go ahead and buy a new battery or should I charge the one I have?

Thanks
(typed from phone.. sorry for any errors)

When I said the car has been jump started twice.... I meant twice this spring/summer... Not twice in the same day or anything.

Pulling CBs can't discharge a battery. I'd give it an overnight charge before I replaced it. Think about a new one if it won't hold a charge.
