Can i jump start a battery with one battery off of the car just standing alone? Or does the battery have to be on both cars? i need to jumpstart a battery because it's low on energy and need to start my car.

If the battery has good charge it may start your car but not guaranteed, Remember to hook the positive to the dead battery first then positive to the good battery, then negative to the good battery, then negative to a metal part on the engine, don't make the last connection to the battery cuz the last connection will cause a spark and you want to keep sparks away from the battery

I think you're asking if you can jumpstart a car from a free standing battery not attached to another car.
Yes probably. It depends on how discharged your cars battery is and how full of charge the free standing battery is. It won't hurt to try but the free standing battery will quickly lose it's charge too. Good luck.

Yes you can.
And actually just so you and the other guys know it , It's not recomended to jumpstart another car with your engine on.
It can be a serious shock to your alternator and the computer system in your car. But most of us do it anyway ...
But there actually is no reason to if there is nothing wrong with the other car except the dead battery :)

Yes, you can jumpstart your car using just a battery
