Battery flat & boot won't open, please help!!
Discussion
Hi all, as above, just uncovered the Chim now the weasther has improved with the intention of taking her for a run. I knew the battery would be flat as she hasn't moved for weeks, but didn't think it would be so flat I couldn't pop the boot!
Now, my Accumate & jump leads with Anderson connectors are in there, school boy error I know, but what options do I have now?
Any help is very much appreciated guys.
Brook.
Edited as suggested, sorry I didn't realise that info was sensitive.

Borrow mate's jump leads. Charge battery. Bump start,
I thought the battery was almost impossible to remove?Got a mate & jump leads but no room on road to maneuvre other car near enough to connect up.
It's a early Chim & the way in that is stated in the bible doesn't apply it seems?

Where do the jump leads with Anderson connector fit then?
That is, if the car came with these leads they are useless unless a socket has been fitted. If this is the case they are usually in an accessible place. (e.g. strapped to chassis rail behind radiator)

Yes there is a connector under the bonnet at the front, just need to get them out of the boot. That is, if the car came with these leads they are useless unless a socket has been fitted. If this is the case they are usually in an accessible place. (e.g. strapped to chassis rail behind radiator)

I have actually found my Accumate, it wasn't in the boot, but I fear that the battery has died as it has been connected half an hour now & there is nothing.
Never mind, thanks for offering suggestions mate, looks like a new battery & a major contortion job swapping them over!
