Interior light left on and now I'm on holiday! What to expect when I get back

Hi guys, I installed a new battery in my 2009 Toyota RAV-4 a couple of weeks ago. I left for holiday a week ago and to my dismay received a text from my neighbour saying that my interior light is ON. By the time I get back it will have been on for 10 days. Given that the battery is brand new, will it be usable again or will I need to buy a new battery? What will be the best way to recharge it? I have a portable car battery charger. Thanks

One would think that by now Toyota would have a DERM module installed (as do most valued cars) that times out after about 30 minutes.

Put the charger on it- on low amps for a few hours and you'll be fine....

You already have a car battery charger, then you combine your charger and your car. Cannot get charge?
