rolling up windows without power

I got my poor integra sitting in the garage collecting dust because I haven't driven it in about a year. The windows are down and I really need to get it out into the street to make way for my new car. As you may conclude, the battery is dead and I don't really want to go out an buy a new battery just to roll up the windows and let that bettery die as well. Is there an easy alternative to do what I need? Thanks for the help!

Will the battery charger give the car enough power to run my electric power? I believe my battery is completely drained because last time I jumped it, it wouldn't hold the charge.

I definitely plan to. I had a cousin of mine waiting to find the time to come out of state to pick it up and he's been lagging.

Swap the battery with the one from your new car temporarily just to move the integra out of the garage and roll the windows up. Then swap it back into your new car. No money lost this way.

Just get jumper cables and pull another car up to it. Problem solved. Or, if you have a charger that is 10 amps or mpre that will work also, just roll up one window at a time.
