Once you draw on your battery at low enough charge, THAT will damage and break it. Batteries will last like ~50 years and longer if charged correctly and maintained. The reason you have to replace the em is you don’t usually drive far enough and long enough to properly charge it after starting the vehicle. However the alternator does keep it charged enough to last 5-10 for most people. Then it dies on an unusually cold winter, or in your case from jump starting another car too many times. linkfedilink
