If you car dies once your remove the jumper cables, it is most likely an alternator problem. Take your car to AutoZone or somewhere similar and they will test it for you. It could be that there is not enough charge in the battery to sustain the alternator. Try keeping the engine round 1500 revs while taking the jumper cables off.

The starter relay or the internal starter relay solenoid contact is closed either by 12 volts still applied to the relay or starter or the contacts have welded themselves together. Welded together sounds good if the starter is shorted and that would cause the cables to overheat also.

How do you connect a car battery cable to a battery not in the car?
It would be essentially the same as connecting a battery in the car, except with longer cables. You would have to use jumper cables to extend the car battery cables. Be sure to follow ALL safety procedures. Do NOT let anyone or anything metal touch anything else except where you make the connections. Do not touch the metal connectors themselves. I assume there is no battery in the car. I will call the battery that is not in the car the "external battery". First connect the positive ("+", usually red) jumper cable to the positive car battery cable, & then the other end of that jumper cable to the positive external battery terminal. Then do the same with the negative ("-", usually black) car battery cable & jumper cable. The last thing you connect should be the far end of the negative jumper cable to the negative terminal of the external battery. When you are ready to disconnect the external battery from these cables, do so in reverse order, starting with disconnecting the negative ("-", usually black) jumper cable from the negative external battery terminal.
How can you safely jump a car when the positive terminal is red?
To safely jump a car when the positive terminal is red, follow these steps: Connect the red (positive) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Connect the other end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the working battery. Connect the black (negative) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the working battery. Connect the other end of the black jumper cable to an unpainted metal surface on the car with the dead battery. Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes. Try starting the car with the dead battery.

Start the engine of the donor vehicle and let it run for about 5 minutes to allow some charge to be applied to the 100% dead battery.6. Start the car and have a helper immediately remove the connections in reverse order of how you connected them.Warning: Be careful the jumper cable will not be hit by the cooling fan blades when the engines are started.
