Default 2009 no start

2009 2LT Base Auto-I was out of town last week and my wife needed to move the car. She called me and said it wouldn't start, nothing, and she was locked in. I told her about the door release lever so she got out and that was that. When I get back I go out and everything is dead. I hook up the battery charger for a few minutes and it starts up. I drove it for about 15 minutes, all good, and shut it off. Tried to start it-nothing. No click, no dash lights, nothing. Like a master power shut-off was activated. Again, release lever to get out.
Any thoughts here? Is there a master breaker somewhere? Thanks for any feedback.

First thing I would check are the battery connections.

OK, I found a broken negative terminal. Is it just me, or is the OEM terminal a bit over-engineered? Went old school for the repair. Thanks for the responses.
