take the battery off the car, use a very low amp charger (like 1 to 1,5 Ah) for 24 - 35 hours, and check if it cured - worked for me (dead bike battery sitting 1 year in the shelf, now being used in the VortX)

The Optimiser will revive a battery, if it's capable of being revived.

It's probably worth buying one - even if it fails in this attempt, at least it'll keep the next one healthy.

Sounds like the battery has probably deep discharged. You can try to put a charger on it, but you will probably need a new battery anyhows.

Look on ebay. I got a firestorm battery copy for £25 off a store trader which was £50 odd in Halfords even after trade card. And to top it off it was a sealed battery rather than the add acid type.
