2003 BMW 530 Battery
Electrical problem
2003 BMW 530 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 37,000 miles
My battery is dead, my alternator needs changing. But i'm in a situation where i need to drive my car 50 miles. I have a jump start kit, i was wondering if i can use that jump start kit to charge my battery? how long do i need to charge it before it becomes a full battery, and enough for me to drive and get it fix?

i dont think you will make it 50 miles on a new battery, i think that may be out of the limits for the battery.

Well what if charge the battery, and also connect the jump start. Would that help me get where i need to go? or should i just play it safe and take it to a local shop?

Playing it safe is my recommendation.
