When you say boat battery if you are referring to a Deep Cycle battery as used to power a trolling motor then no, it is not suitable for use in a car. However, if you are referring to a battery in a boat used to start the engine and it is not a Deep Cycle battery it will work just fine in a car as long as it fits the battery holder, can be strapped down, and the battery posts are orientated correctly.

Yes, A car battery can have enough charge to turn on car electrical components but not start the car. This is not much of an indication of a bad battery however. Use a volt meter to test the power in the battery. If the battery seems low put it on a trickle charge. Most modern chargers will tell you if your battery is bad or not.
