O'Reilly's will do a pretty decent check if you get the car running and take it to them. They will need it running to check the alternator but then shut off to check the battery. Hope your battery isn't in some stooooopid location like the stock FFRs or my ERA. I have to pull the RR wheel off to get my battery out of its cute little compartment and I've heard that you have to get under the car on an FFR.

An alternator is really designed to maintain a charge rather than give a stone dead battery a quick charge. You might want to try giving the battery a few hours charge before trying to start it again. If you were able to connect directly to the battery terminals to jump it, your ground and positive connections are probably OK.

Just think, if you had Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, electrics, how much more fun you could be having.
