Did you let the jumping vehicle run a bit to put some charge in the dead battery?

If so, then sounds like you have a connection issue. I mean, obviously you currently have a battery issue but you're loosing battery power somewhere when it's turned off...or so it seems.

Is this the first time it has happened?
