Start with a new battery, but it is likely more involved, so expect possibly and alternator or voltage regaulator as well. It may also be the main engine buss

Hi. Your battery might need to be changed. If the battery is fine then your alternator might be the problem. Could be a combination of both. Battery in your car is located in the trunk. What year is the vehicle?

The battery may be dead. But before giving up on battery or alternator, try cleaning the battery terminals. Sometimes deposits will build up between the battery posts and the terminals and keep the battery from charging properly.

Battery alternator or alternator belt. Start with a new battery.

battery, what is happening is your battery is dead, and when you jump it, the alternator takes over the charging of the battery so it stays running.

You have a bad alternator or bad battery.
