I wanted to get a spare battery anyways, but now that the battery currently in the car has given out on me (it appeared to be dead, then a bit later it was working again) it’s more pertinent. I can get a used car battery for $40, I think.

You shouldn't buy a used battery imo, wait until you're able to afford a new one. It might be twice as expensive but it will be at least twice as reliable, especially with it getting cold.

Shit, you just can not catch a fucking break, huh? meow-hug

Cold temps will cause that to happen on an older battery -- they lose capacity as the temperature drops, but sometimes they regain a tiny bit of voltage after you leave everything off for a little while (or when the weather gets a little bit warmer). Since this is a car that sat unused for more than a couple of months, yeah, that battery is likely toast.

If you have a friend with a garage and a battery trickle charger with a "recondition"/repair function (they're typically like $20-25 on Amazon), that might bring it back from the dead for a few months or so, but it takes a long time (8-12 hours or more) for that to run. Probably not helpful in your current situation, but maybe something to keep in mind if you do try to keep the old battery as a backup/spare.
