Answer
Hello,

I had a difficult time understanding your question, but reviewing it again, I think I can give you some ideas. The reason apparently the car was sold was because of a problem.

It sounds like the alternator is defective. You need to put a voltmeter on your battery after the jumpers are remove. If you are seeing less than 14.2 volts the alternator is the source of your problems.
