Default Battery dead

Okay to just jump it? Or should I pull it out and put it on a trickle charger?

Those currently are my two options...wasn't sure if something BAD could happen. Normally this wouldn't happen thus I don't have a battery tender...but its been sitting for awhile with a flat while I get new wheels/tires, etc.

Thanks.

Normally its driven every day. I have a couple different cars so I've been somewhat slow in getting the tires taken care of but once they are done...I don't really see the need for a battery minder unless its going to sit a lot.
