Battery completely flat

Hasn't been started in a week and now there's 0 battery left in there.
What do I do short of buying a new one? Buy a el-cheapo battery charger?

can try charging it, can be lucky sometimes.
Battery in ours was el-zilcho.
Gave it a whirl, left it on charge for a week with a trickle charge and came up a charm.

Ah, I was thinking I could buy a charger tomorrow, leave it on charge for few hours and put it back in.
So it's not guaranteed that it'll start working again?

nope.
could lend you my trickle charger, would instantly tell you if the battery has gone open circuit, would need to collect it from me at work however.
Also, depending on battery capacity, may need a weeks charge time, only does like 300ma current charge.
which is extremely small, if you're unaware.

Ah that's fucked! I need it so I can drive to work on Wednesday, so the charger would do me no good.. gah!
Might as well buy a new one, I've never replaced the battery on the car since I've had it anyway.
Thanks

I'd say you're better off with a new battery if you have one that's as old as that.

And I'd say go stick it up your ass and f*ck yourself u c*nt, although that wouldn't be very befitting in this scenario.
So I'll just say thanks mate, appreciate the help

Surprisingly, when I called battery patrol to come change it, the guy tried jump starting it, and it actually worked. Very surprised, considering it was completely flat. Win!
