You can't jumpstart a battery, but you can jumpstart the LP engine. If your battery is dead, you will need to jump the buffer until the battery is replaced; a auto battery charger or jump unit can do that. The battery looks like a 12 V 32 AmpHour. You will need to test the charge coil to see if it's putting out enough to charge the battery, or if the battery itself is bad.

Connect a voltmeter across the battery terminals. While engine off, if the voltage is below 12V it means your battery is either dead or discharged. Once you've jump-started your car, check the battery voltage again. If it's still low (like below 13.5V) it may mean you have a problem with your alternator.
Let me know the voltages and we'll think what to do next.
There are MAIN fuses on the Japan cars.. Usually near the battery location. Look for these fuses and check them.. possibily find a bad fuse. Check to see if this car has a "Fuseable Link" for the starter.. Look at a Chilton manual.. if you do not have one check your local library.. If you are going to work on your own car its a good investment.. Possibly you did not need to replace the battery. Book costs lots less than a battery.
Very low details. Bad battery/connectors.Bad alternator charge rate.Battery end of life/manutenance needed. If a jump start or another battery won't solve the problem u need to track it.Spark condition (if apply)/fuel condition. Best guess: jumpstart/new battery hold accelaration to the floor and crank it. Cheers.hope u deal it,share.
No danger involved, just useless. If ONE vehicle won't jump it, there's something drastically wrong with the engine. A charging system will only charge a max of 14 volts when charging a low or dead battery. Over that will hurt something. If you have two vehicles connected to your low battery, there's still only 14 volts going out from them and into yours. There is no reason why one jump vehicle won't charge and start your vehicle. Unless of course the jumped battery is really bad or has a bad/dirty connection. So clean your terminals before a jump. You may not need a jump.
You have a charging / electrical discharge fault....unless you are competent to measure voltages and chech charge rates then leave it to the experts...the local garage.
If you noticed the car getting harder to start when warm lately, it could be the starter is bad; a bad starter will work when cold but once it heats up, will require more and more power to turn over
Bad battery; a dead battery won't turn the car over even with a jump; it would need a slow charge to work again; even sealed batteries have caps that can be pried open to do a cell check (battery cell checkers inexspensive at the auto parts store) if you have 1 dead cell, the battery needs replacement
Corrosion; just because the posts and cables may be clean at the battery, doesn't mean there's no corrosion on the other ends of the cables
Hope this answers your question and gives you a good place to start. All the best.

sounds like a bad ground somewhere. that can burn out power wires due to a high amp draw and cause the battery not to charge. try hooking up the negitive cable directly to the engine to jumpstart it. if that works and the car dies as soon as you disconnect the cables a bad ground is very likely. and I have noticed the new gms are very weak in the charging/battery department. They are using very cheep batterys ,die very easy. also check fuses.
