A car with a dead (not just drained) battery will run fine once jumped. It is relying on the alternator to supply electrical current. The problem is, once you shut the car down again you will discover the battery has lost its ability to hold a charge.

Ah, got it. Good I purchased a new one then. And supposedly AAA honors their batteries with a 6 year warranty too
