Sounds like alternator is not charging have charging system checked should be charging at 14 volts

I know nothing of cars but I took a leap of faith and ordered alternator and belt. So I really hope so. So jumping it will do no good?

Have the new battery charged first and once vehicle is running can have charging system tested.
