You thought your battery died you boosted car for ten minutes started driving and slowly turned off in the middle of street at a stop light What does this mean?

This sounds like the battery boost only temporarily masked a more serious underlying problem with your car. Ten minutes of driving isn't long enough to fully charge a significantly depleted battery. The fact it died again at a stoplight suggests the alternator, which charges the battery while the engine is running, is likely faulty. A failing alternator can't keep up with the electrical demands of the car, even when the engine is running, leading to a quick battery drain.

Other possibilities, though less likely given the scenario, include:

* A major parasitic drain: Something in your car's electrical system is drawing excessive power even when the car is off, quickly depleting the battery.

* A faulty battery: Even a new battery can be defective.

* A combination of issues: It's possible there's more than one problem contributing to the issue.

You should not attempt to drive the car again until it's been properly diagnosed. Driving a car with a dead or failing charging system is dangerous and can lead to being stranded, and possibly damage to the car's electrical system. Have it towed to a mechanic for inspection and repair.
