One that was just ran down b/c you left a map light on will take a charge and start working again. What the OP stated, so hence there should be no reason why it could not have been jumped. It could have been drained so far that it wouldn't take/hold a charge but not contain a dead short. Usually when I make a statement to a question posted on a forum I am addressing the OP problem or one that I quoted, not every single situation that mankind could possibly encounter.
I've never seen anyone get salty over a discussion about car batteries. You must not get laid much. So you're saying that there's absolutely no way that you can drain a battery so much that you won't be able to jump the vehicle?
I'm not getting salty, nor am I getting personal, if you would like, i'd be more than happy to do both.
But basically, yes that is what I am saying as long as the batt isn't damaged and you are using proper equiptment to do the jump, large enough batt and proper cables.
