C50 - sealed battery (I think). You can't check the fluid levels.
Check the fuses, too. You may have blown fuse.

Take the battery out of the bike and try to charge it. Connect negative to negative first. Connect positive to positive second and try the charging cycle. See what happens then.

If it charges, put it back in the bike and try to start it again. If it starts, run it for a while, but don't stop it unless you can ge help or are at home. If it doesn't work, it may be the battery.
If all seems well when you reinstall the battery after charging and it goes completly caput again, you may have a short somewhere. I would go with the battery first.
