I wouldn't have been able to do that in the morning due to limited car access (unless I could have found a nice neighbor at 7AM), and my commute to work is about 10-15 minutes... not enough to reliably charge the battery by the time I got to work (I mean, it should have charged enough to start again, but I'm not gonna bank on anything working like it should).

Well, the battery survived and now the car is idling in my garage. Here's hopin the 101 gets opened in the next 4 hours :happysad:
