Possibly. Take the car for an extended drive in daylight with all electrical equipment switched off and use the gears to brake the car so that the battery is recharged.
Running the battery right down can shorten its lifespan dramatically so you may wish to invest in a battery charger / conditioner and also look to change your driving style so that the battery can recharge by itself.
