Battery Recharging

The automobile battery is very depleted and I need to persuade my RING RSC808 smart charger to begin the charging process, since the battery is unable to activate the charger at 0.0 volts. The automobile's dead battery has been removed as there are no charging facilities available in the subterranean parking park. I am considering the necessity for a battery that has been connected in parallel in order to persuade the charger to function. I will enquire at my nearby garage to see whether they have a charger capable of functioning at a voltage of 0.0 volts, as a backup option. However, am I making progress in the correct direction? I do not own an additional 12-volt battery readily available. These intelligent chargers are lacking in several aspects.
If the battery is excessively drained, a smart charger such as the Ring or CTek will not be effective in recharging it.
Prior to the smart charger taking control, it is necessary to charge it for many hours using a 4 - 6 amp mains charger.
Could you lend me a mains charger so that I may begin the charging process?
If the battery has been fully depleted for an extended period of time, there is a possibility that it may need replacement.

If you own a pair of jumper cables, just connect them to another vehicle and let it to run at a low speed for a short period of time. This will provide sufficient charge for the C-tek to function.
If the voltage has been at zero for any period of time, it will be impossible to restore it. Even if you manage to charge it, the battery will have a significantly diminished capacity and will be irreversibly destroyed. Allowing a battery to discharge completely or leaving it in a depleted state is the quickest way to degrade and damage it.
Occurrences of zero volts are infrequent and often indicate that the battery has had an internal short circuit.

You are correctly use the parallel approach to charge the batteries, which is essentially equivalent to jump starting. By connecting a parallel battery, the dead battery will begin charging independently, even without your Ring being attached. In order to handle a strong electric current, it is necessary to have a set of jumper wires. I would establish a connection between them and then maintain a safe distance for a period of time before attempting to use the Ring.
If the battery you are attempting to charge has a voltage reading of 0.0 volts, it is possible that it is too severely damaged to be restored. A battery is deemed completely depleted when its voltage drops to 10.5 volts.
Revision: sighn34 raises a reasonable concern about the potential presence of an internal short circuit, which might pose a safety risk during charging efforts.

Join two batteries in parallel.
This will deceive the charger by presenting an average voltage that is greater than zero, prompting it to start the charging process for both batteries. Once the depleted battery has regained some power, you may recharge it independently.
However, it is evident that you will want an additional high-quality battery in order to do this.

If the voltage is at 0V, I believe your efforts would be futile. The battery is irreparable. Although it is possible to ultimately get a reading of about 12V, the battery will be irreparably damaged and its capacity will be significantly reduced.

Indeed, the purpose is just to initiate the car's engine and transport it onto a trailer destined for the vast scrapyard. Therefore, it is just necessary to start the engine. If all other attempts are unsuccessful, proceed to reconnect the battery, which is located in the trunk of the w202 vehicle. Then, establish a connection by wiring across from the s205 battery, which is in excellent condition.

Thank you, I independently arrived to the same conclusion and was seeking validation. There is a little possibility that there could be an antiquated, non-intelligent battery charger at my mother's home, and I will attempt to utilise this option first. It is similar to a unique issue, and the extended lifespan of the battery is not a matter of worry as the w202 is about to go on its last voyage.
