A battery in good condition should have survived that situation but probably not with a lot of margin, its a condition that puts a lot of stress on the battery. Had you looked at your ammeter while idling with the lights on you would have seen that the battery was under constant heavy discharge - generators put out little or no current at idle.

That said, it would seem your battery was already on life support if it needed constant charging every few days.
