0volts :!
you have almost certainly damaged your battery! It will probably recharge but will have shortened the lifespan a lot, they dont like being discharged let alone that much :o

Can't find my batter charger, so lookin at jump-starting it to get it running & then just running the car to get some charge in the battery...

how long will this take & will it work??

cheers
