Why won't a car start without using jump leads to another battery but will start with jump leads to another battery?

Some of the possible causes that I can think of right now include:
- A battery which is unable to provide the amount of current [measured in Amperes (Amps)] which the starter needs to spin the starter and engine fast enough.
- Corrosion build up on the contact surfaces at any point where connections are made, such as: battery/terminal/cable clamp connections, cable connections at the starter solenoid, connection of the cable at the starter, connections inside the starter such as, brushes to comutator etc.
- A cable or wire to the starter that has been cut or damaged so that it does not have the same cross-sectional area [diameter] anymore, and therefore resists the flow of current.
- A worn/defective starter solenoid.
- A defective starter [as in worn out brushes or "dragging" bearings or bushings which reduce the Rpm of the starter.

How do you hot wear a car?
To hot wir a car you need jump leads. You need to connect the battery in your car to the battery in another car that is working using the jump leads. Then when you start up car #2 it will give car#1 enough electricity to start itself. From there, it will recharge itself as you drive.

Why will my ba falcon start with a jump start but not without one when the battery is fine?
I would check the battery terminals, probably a buildup of corrosion between the posts and the terminals, clean them up with boiling water and sandpaper till both parts are shiny clean. If you are connecting the jumper leads to the battery terminals when jump starting and it works fine then this is the only possibility.

After I tried the above without success, I called the dealer. I have a 2002 XK8. There is a hole for the key between the X and the K just above the rear bumper. The battery is to the right of the spare.

Charge a car without a battery?
You can start a car without a battery if you hook up a jump pack or use jumper camples but it could fry your alternator. It is pointless to charge a car without a battery. When you charge the car you are charging the battery.
