switching batteries probably wore out your alternator. all your battery does is start your car. let the cables sit on the battery for a while before you start your car. might work

Jumper cables will not always start a car right away. Most of the time if you let it sit with the other car idle charging the dead car, say 5-10min, it should start. However I have had occassions where it was so cold out that no amount of charging the battery would work. Sometimes a battery just gives up. Just get your new battery like you plan.
