My battery is dead

[zuberio]

Hey all,

My battery was already a bit weak on charge because I let it drain for a month while in another province. It still started (bearly) but was fine after my 20-25minute commute to and from work. And then someone (cough wife cough) left the roof light on for a few days (I take transit to work) the battery is completely dead.

My question, should I get a boost pack to jump start the car and then go on a trip, or get a trickle charger to bring the battery back to spec?

Thanks in advance!
