Likely, but no guarantee...
The battery in the Honda car is now too much of a state of discharge to respond to jumping.
If you have an auto battery charger, charging the battery for a while may bring it back again. For a while anyway. Good luck.
Battery is likely toast by now. One can pull it and take it to the local chain parts store and they'll check it for you. And you can see their meters results.
Wal Mart has pretty cheap batteries.PLEASE MAKE SURE THE CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT
PS any poor connection at the battery or where either of the battery cables go to
need to be secure. If the ground - usually black cable is loose where it attaches to the engine block, or wherever, it can cause no start, no ignition lights and no starter cranking condition too. Same with the + positive usually red battery cable. Good luck, also if you can pop the two tops off the battery, pop them and add water to them and then also put it on slow charge that always does the trick but also remember to make sure the terminals are tight

Be careful if you're charging the lithium battery with a generator connected through an isolator.
If your battery is overheating and you can smell acid what should you do?
Stop driving until the charging system and battery have been checked for an overcharging condition.
Why did your battery light come on while you were driving?
Charging system problem. Normally this means there is a problem with the alternator.
What causes a car battery to die while driving?
It has to be a dead charging system.... usually a short internal in the alternator
How long should a fully charged car battery last driving in daylight if it isn't charging?
About 2 days
Why does the battery light come on while driving even though the alternator is charging the battery?
The alternator may not be charging it enough. With the engine running at an idle check the voltage at the battery with a DC digital voltmeter. It should read from 13.5 to 15.5 Volts. Anymore, or any less, and the alternator is suspect. You might also have a defective battery.
Your 1997 cirrus only starts with a jump while driving battery lite stays lit?
battery light indication means a dead battery or a dead alternater/regulater or a fault in the charging/ignition system
What happens what the battery light come on while driving your car?
It usually means that your alternator (or generator) is not charging the battery. At this point you need to check system voltage with a voltmeter when the engine is running. You should see at least 13.5 to 14.5 volts. If it is less than that, it is not charging. You can also have the charging checked at a repair shop if you don't have a voltmeter.
Does tachometer has to do anything with the charging of a battery while driving a car?
The tachometer DOES NOT have anything to do with charging the battery in a car at any time. The tachometer simply reads, and relays to the driver, how fast the crankshaft in the engine is turning. This is displayed in RPMs, short for "revolutions per minute" representing one complete revolution of the crankshaft. On some newer cars, the tachometer may share a signal from the crankshaft sensor with the ECU(the car's computer) as well. The charging of the battery is handled by the alternator or generator which is most commonly belt driven and attached to the front of the engine. It may have gauges in the dash such as a Voltage gauge, Ammeter, or just simply a "dummy light" that illuminates and warns the driver of charging problems should they arise.
How do you check if my TomTom is charging?
To check if your TomTom is being charged,connect the charger ,power on the unit , tap the bottom right of the Driving view to get to the route summary screen. If the battery is being charged, the word Charging is shown under the battery symbol on the right. If you don't see the word Charging, the battery is either fully charged (indicated by a completely filled battery symbol) or it isn't receiving external power.
What is causing your car battery to drain while driving?
If the battery, drive belt and wiring are okay then I would suspect the alternator is faulty. Your local auto parts store can test the charging system for you at no cost.
