Can I fix this problem by jump starting it? If so, will I need to replace the battery or will the engine recharge it. The car is only 1 year old and in good condition.

Jump it. It has power, but not enough to start the engine. The engine will recharge the battery. Drive around for a good 30 minutes to get it fully charged.

The battery is too low to start the car, but there's enough electricity to run the radio.
Junp start the car (make sure the connections are right or you could really screw something up, like on board computer, and that would cost you some big bucks).
Drive it around for 1/2 hour or so and it should be charged up, except if you have a bad battery to start with. If this is the case, go get another battery.

It takes a lot less juice to power the electronics than to turn the starter motor. Let it sit for a couple of hours and the battery may recover enough charge to get it started. If that doesn't work, a jump start will get you going.
Since the battery wasn't totally drained, it should charge up nicely with normal operation. You may have shortened the total life of the battery a bit but that shouldn't be a problem for a couple of years at least.

Jump start it an dit will be ok. unless it is some really expensive car. Some expensive cars you can not tak e off, change , or jump start a car. it's due to the computer chips which tells it to shut down when there is a problem and only the dealer can work on it. It owuld cost you up to a grand ig you worked on the battery or electruic system. I think it;s the cads, and lincolns like that but not sure.
Most cars under 40 grand you should be able to jump start and it'll self charg ediving it asrounf for about 20/30 minutes,.

You just need to boost the car battery! The car has power but not enough to turn it over. After that make sure you go for a nice little drive for like 1/2 an hour to get the charge back into the battery.

You just let your battery run down probably. It had enough juice in it to run the electronics, but not enough to start your car. It takes a pretty good amount of power to start your car. If it is just your battery, it didn't go completely dead so your car will recharge the battery and you will be okay. Good luck.

jump it. the battery has lost most of its amperage. It still has 12 volts but probably nothing close to the 100 amps a starter needs, drive it or idle it for 20 minutes and it should get it back to operable strength. A totally dead battery is permanently damaged and will never be able to get 100% of its rated amperage back.

it should work just fine with a charge, but take note that once a battery has been discharged in that manner it is more likely to fail in cold weather and therefore requiring a replacement .
