Car wouldnt start without boosting … so bought a new battery, boosted it, let it charge for 10-15 minutes, turned it off , tried to turn it on and nothing, no lights no power at all… alternator ?!? ---

Are the clamps properly secured? This happened to me once and the reason it wouldnt start was that after driving the bumps and such knocked the clamps loose. ---

Check all of the fuses under the hood. Also check if there is a connection between the positive terminal and the chassis when the car is off. ---
