How long will my battery last?

    Hi everyone.

    So woke up this morning bright and early for work and my car didn't turn on at all :( Pretty sure the battery died becuase I think I accidently left the lights on (I know, I'm an idiot). So I'm assuming I'll need to get the battery jumped but how long should this last? I only changed the battery about 2 months ago so I'm assuming it should be ok again once I get it jumped? Any advice would be awesome as I know nothing about cars at all :( I drive it every day for a max 15 min to work but I really need it Friday as I have to drive 2 hours to Tipperary and the last thing I need is for it to die again.....

    Assuming it's not fully dischgarged it may be fine. Get it started and drive for c.30 mins.

    Yep, it needs a good drive to charge it back up.
