    charge it on a battery tender overnight, it should be fine in the am. If you do get a jump, make sure it's from a same-size battery or your system could fry.

    What Soooooz said.

    You can pick up a charger for the small batteries at a hardware/auto whatever store for not a lot of money (around $30 in Canada, doubtless less than that in the US), and it's pretty easy to do, just follow the instructions with the charger :)

        I think so, that's where mine is. I don't know your amps, I think mine was a 12v if that sounds possible. Best to check yours specifically. All I needed for mine was a philips-head screwdriver, and it's right there.

        I don't know the name "battery tender"; up here we call it a trickle charger :)

        specs should be in the owner's manual or on the battery. Battery Tender is a brand name battery charger meant for motorcycles, your local shop should sell them, or they are a little cheaper on eBay.
