Car garaged for 8 months - Battery stuffed?

[Oakey]

MY Zed has been garaged for the last 8 months. Should really have disconnected the battery but it was on the drive for a while and was moved back and forth a bit before getting locked away for good. The battery is flat, will I be able to charge it back up or is it going to be knackered after standing for so long?

Was hoping to get enough out of it to get it MOT'd and taxed.

Bearing in mind it won't have been flat for 8 months. It may only have been dead half that.

That charger above looks nice, bit pricey at the cost of a new battery though!

The problem with that is it's not taxed. I can't really drive it about for an hour prior to the MOT well, unless the MOT station was some distance away. I suppose that might work. But then there's the risk it may not start back up.

The bigger issue is getting it out of the garage and down the tight driveway with no power!

That's probably going to be the 'easiest' option I think, cheers.
