The battery will not get recharged after jump starting with another battery if the alternator is not working to recharge it. You should have the battery recharged and charging system diagnosed to see if the alternator needs to be replaced. The most likely cause is the alternator but only a test of the charging system will confirm it. If you need a professional technician to inspect your battery and charging system, I would recommend one from YourMechanic.
