When you say a "marine car battery" I'm assuming you don't mean a battery for a car owned by a marine. There are many different size batterys for both cars and boats. The ones designed for boats are generally more heavy duty than cheaper models that are usually put in cars. There are also different types, often marine batteries are deep-cycle batteries that are designed to be cycled down to around 30% charge for "house power" and then charged back up again. Engine starting batteries are designed to only be discharged a little while cranking the engine before being recharged by the alternator. The particular battery I have sitting on the floor of my garage weighs 30 pounds, but I've had some batteries that weighed as much as 60.

No, this will place a very heavy load on the alternator of the car and may result in burning out the diodes of the car charging the battery. You could easily ruin the alternator. Purchase a battery charger and charge the dead battery with that. Alternators are not made to charge dead batteries.
