Hmmm, I don't think so.  But testing will tell.  I forgot, is this a 
type 44, battery under back seat?  There's a splice under the passenger 
side carpet that goes bad, IIRC, weakening the battery to engine 
electricals connection.

A car that runs fine but needs a jump start even after five minutes 
probably has a good alternator - that's where the power to run 
everything is coming from.  The battery just isn't charging.

But testing will tell all.
