> hm, the gauge reads 12v, and everything seems alright, but ill try to jump it and see if it will start. i tried that this morning before i cleaned up all the connections and got the same result, but maybe it will work this time.

what does it read when the car is cranking? it could very well be 12V at 40 amps or whatever your car is using when the key is on the run position… but cranking a car takes a shitload more…
