Can't find my batter charger, so lookin at jump-starting it to get it running & then just running the car to get some charge in the battery...

well it has 0v in it...
not even enough power to power an LED 
just hope the alternator can handle charging a dead battery & also running lights

0volts 
you have almost certainly damaged your battery! It will probably recharge but will have shortened the lifespan a lot, they dont like being discharged let alone that much
