    Yes.

    Any more questions? ;-)

    You can charge the battery with an automatic charger such as an
Optimate (in fact Triumph sell a Triumph-approved adapter to enable you
to use an Optimate (and it bears the usual "this equipment must be
fitted by a trained Triumph mechanic" warning!)).

    You can jump start the bike, but you'll either have to go on a long
ride or charge the battery with a charger as above.  I'd do this to get
home from somewhere, but not to get to somewhere unless I knew that I'd
be able to charge the battery at my destination.

    If the battery is dead and still under warranty, the dealer should
take care of it.
