Starts OK with a jump??
Pay attention before you start; pause key in 'on' position, make sure your battery idiot-light is working. If the small green wire on the alternator is broken/disconnected, then there's no field excitation & the alternator can't charge. Same thing if the idiot-light bulb burns out. The nasty thing about this is the warning lamp doesn't work.
Maybe a bad alternator ground??
Any of these would mean your alternator isn't charging, and you would just drain a new battery.
