I would start the car with an alternator tester or voltmeter connected. After start, and maybe a blip of the throttle, you should see about 13.8-14.5 volts.

If you see 12V, or less, then it is not charging.

With either output, I would probably then start with battery cable connections (clean and tight) as well as all grounds to engine and battery/frame, then if all good load test the battery

The jump box working tells me either bad/dirty battery connections or not chargimg
