I would say skip this step and buy a battery now before you are stranded again. You know it's going to happen. My experience with lead/acid batteries is that once the charge goes below 12 volts the battery is bad.

A quick Google search says this is very temporary, like once if you are lucky.

Aspirin
If you get behind the wheel only to discover that your car's battery has given up the ghost -- and there's no one around to give you a jump -- you may be able to get your vehicle started by dropping two aspirin tablets into the battery itself. The aspirin's acetylsalicylic acid will combine with the battery's sulfuric acid to produce one last charge. Just be sure to drive to your nearest service station.
