After you jump start the car and run it until it charges up, you can kill it and wait about an hour. If it starts then, you're probably good.
If your battery has removable caps over the cells, you can buy a specific gravity tester at the auto parts store to test the battery. Follow the instructions on the package for the test ON A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. Be careful. You're dealing with a very strong acid. It will eat you and any part of your car it comes in contact with. This is basically a turkey baster with a guage built into in.
