Well, when a battery is drained to a point it won't start the car it should be recharged. Jumping the car off with a week battery causes the internal voltage regulator inside the alternator to overheat and burn up. If your new alternator is still good after jumping the car I would check for a parasitic draw to find the circuit that is drawing down the battery. Throw the jumper cables away as they are the last resort only
