no, the jump box does not put out enough amps by itself. battery must also be good in order for it to work.

replace battery, then alternator like a few others have mentioned. both easy fixes

battery charger wont provide enough current to crank. But if you run jumpers from a running car to the dead one it should crank.

Replace the battery brah

ok so it is the battery, i jumped it today with a full charged portable jump box.. Question know is how do swap in a new battery without throwing my radio into safe mode?

[turbojohnny]

just leave the jump box connected to the battery terminals while you're swapping out the battery

I swap out the battery with the car running. then no worries of battery codes.
