Hello and thanks for donating!

Your charging system consists of the battery cables, alternator and battery. If you jumped the battery and it ran for a few minutes then died again this will point to a faulty alternator. You can have the alt. And battery tested at most local auto part stores free of charge.

Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running to check the charging system, this can cause a major electrical system damage.
