You did make yourself clear in your first post.
Most of my reply is relevant.

If you connect your battery to another car you will have to run that cars engine for at least 24 hours to fully charge your battery. ( YES, 24 hours minimum. _)

Buy a cheap charger and use that.--Much cheaper than putting gallons of fuel into another car to charge your battery.---

If you keep doing what you are doing your might mess up the key code.---You have been warned. ( See my first post. ) then you'll be sorry.--

You are going to kill your battery if you are not careful.--It really, really needs a LONG charge.----As said before, 24 hours.

That way to lidls for a cheap charger.

When charging your battery connect the red lead first ( positive. ) and the black lead last ( negative )---When removing the leads do so in the reverse order to the way you connected them.----
