New Dead Battery

So I left my key in the ignition and completely drained the battery to the point where a battery tender will not recognize and charge the battery. I was told the battery needs at least three volts for the tender to recognize it. The battery is about 2 months old. Is it salvagable and how do I get the 3 Volts into it? Any help is appreciated. The bike is stuck in down town and is one pissy meter maid away from going to the tow yard.

05ThruxNut, By now I hope you've pulled the bike out of harm's way. A regular battery charger might work, but it may be necessary to replace the electrolite 100% and place on a charger at 2 amps.

If a tender won't recognize it, it's time for a new one. Motorcycle batteries are not designed for deep discharges like that.

Cheers,
