I have a 2007 puma. Does not so many miles and sits for a few weeks at a time. Battery was low during the cold snap and gave it a charge once or twice over dec/jan. it ran/started no probs last weekend.
This morning no turn over, no cough, some lights on the dash flicker on and off and I can hear a relay or something like that under the driver seat clicking on and off as I hold the key into the ignition on position. Just checked the battery 10.9v. It’s on charge now, so will see in the morning. Also when locking I noticed the indicators flashed 4 times. I am sure they do not normally do that? Suggestions  |

The voltage suggests that once cell is dead. It is very unlikely to bounce back from that.

 for the original battery lasting. Still on an original 07 battery here but it did struggle over the winter, to the extent that when starting in the extreme cold it set the BBUS off while focusing all of its power on turning over! 
It definitely won't last next winter so i'll swap it out before any long trips or it gets cold again. The GF's car did exactly what you described this winter though - charging it back up worked a couple of times but it never held the charge again, so got replaced sharpish. |
