Have someone jump start your car and let it run for several minutes you should be fine then.Yeah! You can jump start it as long as it's not automatic. Put it in second gear or reverse for the best way to start it. Also if you put an aspirin in the battery it helps to bring the battery back to life. And is better than pushing.

The typical car radio only uses a few hundred milliamps which shouldn't drain a good battery overnight. Maybe you left some courtesy lights on also? If not, and your battery is 5 years old, buy a new battery. Otherwise, take the car in and have the battery and charging system checked once you get it running, because you can end up with a dead battery again and be stranded somewhere. If you need a new battery, they will check the alternator charging when they install it.Looking for anyone who has used the Earl Scheib in Alexandria Virginia.?
Call your roadside assistance (if you have a cell phone, chances are you also have roadside assistance) and get a jump start. If you absolutely don't have roadside assistance, please make sure whoever helps knows what to do. Once your car is started drive it a bit and it will be fine. Batteries do recharge, and the only problem was leaving the radio on which discharged it to the point the car wouldn't start.What is the best way to wash a car??

Your battery needs a recharge. And yes, it will probably start with jumper cables, BUT!! Have somebody do that trick, who knows something about using jumper cables for that.!. The local auto garage or gasoline station usually has "Road service", where they will send a mechanic out to jump start it!If you have an inexperienced person do the job, they could ruin a lot of EXPENSIVE equipment! Depending on make, year, and model, cars have changed a lot in the engine compartment. 25 years ago was a lot different than now, in that respect! The battery will need a slow, low power pre-charge, followed by a long deep charge, done by a battery shop, or gas station, somebody with a large commercial type battery charger, although, a trickle charger, left on for 3 days, might bring up the charge! But, not reccommended, by me!

All the other answers are right, so jumping it with cables should work fine...but be careful to put the right cable on the right terminal. Have someone help you obviously, since you need another car to do it.
How much would a 91 honda Prelude's Bumper shocks cost?
An alternative would be to buy a small battery charger at a parts store, and charge it that way. You put the two clips on the right terminal (red to red terminal, black to black terminal), plug it into a regular 120 outlet with an extension cord, turn it on. After 30 minutes to an hour, it will have enough charge to start.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that radios are not wired directly to the battery (or should NOT be), so you had the ignition key either in the "on" or "acc" position to play the radio. Get in the habit of making sure the key is "off/lock" in the future, when you get out of the car. Must have left your keys in the ignition too, huh?

If I paint my car myself will the rust still show thru the new paint job?
after you've jumpstarted it and driven it for 5-10 minutes, have your mechanic check your battery if its 3-5 years old.remember, a battery is guaranteed to fail, the more it gets fully drained, the less charge it can hold over time. A cars battery is only meant to start the car. Once the engine fires up, your alternator is the one providing all the electrical power for your car. The battery becomes just another burden for the alternator to charge.
