Is my battery Destroyed?

Hi all, recently fetched the Van back from storage, put the battery on charge, left it overnight to settle ( after took off charge) took the reading this evening down to 12.6 volts the battery is only 2 years old and has been looked after. is my battery a gonner or could it be revived? I use a ctek charger.
 
12.6v is almost fully charged so that sounds close to good.

If you used a CTEK charger it will have gone into recovery mode automatically if necessary.
 
I have posted a table of voltages and the relevant percentage of charge.
Voltage State of Charge
12.6+ 100%
12.5 90%
12.42 80%
12.32 70%
12.20 60%
12.06 50%
11.9 40%
11.75 30%
11.58 20%
11.31 10%
10.5 0%

Avoid discharging the battery below the 40% level whenever possible.

As you can see 12.6v is considered to be fully charged.

Only use it to power the motor-mover so should be ok to maneuver it
