    No, portable car jumpstarters are not meant to recharge a car battery. They can provide the power to start a vehicle with a tired battery, but they are not designed to repower it. The vehicle’s alternator recharges the battery while the vehicle is running, or you can hook up a battery charger when stationary. Can you jumpstart a car in the rain?
