A friend or neighbour will have a charger: put out a call to mates to borrow one.
The danger of "jumping to workarounds" is that you can do more damage than you fix.
Sophisticated modern cars have all kinds of protective tech which can get triggered by a flat battery. This is nothing specific to your motor.
Then come back if any issues remain.
Step 1, before faffing around with any workarounds, take the car for a proper run AND get the battery charged up. CTEK is the best.Appreciate the advice @Bobby Dazzler indeed @geoffus before. Will take it out for another run tomorrow and see what happens after 5 restarts. Will invest in a CTEK now too.
