Engine Run Time After Getting a Jump StartWhen I have a dead battery occurrence, after jumpstarting, I drive to the nearest national chain auto parts store [like Autozone, Advance, or O'Reilly, etc.] in order to get their free checkout of the condition of my alternator/charging system, and the battery condition,

These stores in my area have handheld testers for vehicles and they can check my vehicle in their parking lot, without removing anything from my vehicle, or having to leave my vehicle overnight as happens with most automotive shops here.

If it occurs when they are closed for the night, then I either drive the vehicle for 10 or 15 minutes, or just let it idle in my driveway. If you use the 10-15 minute idle, be carefull to keep a close eye on the temperature guage to make sure the engine doesn't overheat.

How long do you have to drive around to charge a car battery after jump starting a car?

You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator. Alternators are designed to keep a good battery charged, not to charge a dead battery. You can easily burn out a diode in the alternator. Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.
