It sounds from the description that it cranks but won't catch. If so, that is unlikely to be a battery problem. If it was a battery problem it wouldn't crank

Also not a good idea to fiddle with jumper cables while they are connected and the jumper vehicle is running. You can send a voltage spike to the vehicle being jumped and electronic modules can be damaged that way
