PCX did not even try to turn over after 3mo on battery charger

My scooter has been on a trickle charger for 3 months. Scooter did not want to start, have no idea why really either. My theory is just that the battery which I think is still original from 2015 just really needs to be swapped out. It was left connected to a trickle charger, but when I tried to start it finally, it didn't even try to turn over. Everything else came on, headlights and whatnot but engine would not make any noise. I power cycled the thing probably 5 times, then it finally decided to try to start and came up right away.
It's possible also I guess that the trickle charger wasn't charging right, but I am pretty sure it was. If not, I would be surprised if it would start at all after 3 months. Another theoriy is possibly something wonky is going on with the kickstand sensor, because it won't let you start it with kickstand down I know.
Feel like just swapping the battery that is guaranteed to leave my stranded at some point soon is probably step 1. Any ideas / thoughts?
