And for the record - i did have a flat battery 2 years ago (the original battery) and i tried to trickle charge it back up a few times and drive the car before i got a new one (Duralast brand). I've heard, afterwards, that this may not be kind to the alternator.

I've been running the car with the Duralast battery since then with no problem starting the car up.
