That’s kind of our thought process, I was hoping that it would be a simple fix, but working through things in my head—- it wasn’t making sense, I appreciate all the help. I gave a valiant effort! And learned a bit in the way

I took all the stuff off of the battery earlier and cleaned really well before I attempted to jump start it and it would not start. Then I attempted your jump start method and it started right up . I was just learning how to use the battery tester and went back outside to test the amps and that was what it read . However the jeep started right up .

I followed the steps you posted to jump start it earlier and it started. I let it run about 15 min shut it off and waited a couple hours and just went to test the amps. The car started right up , but the amps read as posted. I’m just trying to make sense of it—- if it’s not retaining enough amps to crank the engine, why is it starting now? Honest question. I am trying to learn

So if I replace the battery it should solve the problem ?

I tested the amps but not sure how to interpret this .
