  If it's a gel-cell (I thought I read that it was?) then it might be ok.

  I had a friend leave a door open on my wife's Miata when he was using it
and we were away. When I returned, the battery was at 2V, which was
something I didn't think was possible.

  But I charged it up (with a 2A charger, not a trickle charger) and it's
been fine since. Years later.
