They receive the batteries shipped in a "dry" condition [i.e., no electrolyte (acid or liquid) in them] and then they add the acid/liquid electrolyte, and the battery is instantly at full charge.
On the other hand, if they [or you after buying] allow a battery to sit for a very long period of time, it's possible it will lose some of its charge.
In any case, it will do no harm to charge a new battery overnight IF done at a trickle charge rate of one Amp, or two Amps maximum.

It might be that you need to replace the spark plug. It may be that the charging system is not working. Charge the battery and drive the vehicle to your local auto parts store and they will test the charging system for you at no cost. It may be the alternator is at fault.

First start the car then pull off the positive on the battery if the car dies than you need a new alternator if the car keeps running u may need a new battery.
