Waited for a new battery, installed it and we were way over 12, connected the big charger and then sorted the mess.
Like you said, perhaps he should have stayed in bed. I had noticed that she was not turning over as usual on cold mornings. The new battery has resolved this.

Did he connect it in series or parallel - always the former if you are looking to jump start to get max juice, never battery to battery.
