Yes. It's probably buggered already.

Never let a lead-acid go flat. It might work afterwards but most of its
capacity will have been destroyed.

And are the home rescue services operating at the moment anyway?

Yes, best tell them you need to go shopping!


They will really want to sell you a new battery - it also means that you
won't call them again. Is there no-one that can charge it for you?


When the car batteries that I have owned have gone flat, I have had to
buy a new one. I once charged at battery, started the car, drove to
Halfords to buy a battery and then had to fit the new one to start the
car to drive home. The OP might be able to order a new one from
Europarts and then get someone to fit it.
