It’s pretty clear that your battery is dead, and your charging system is also not working. You need to put a new battery in the car and then check the charging system. Don’t be fooled, once you install the new battery the car will probably work for a few days even if the alternator is not charging, but once the battery voltage drops below a certain point, the car will shut off again. You can have this done by a professional by contacting Your Mechanic. they can send a technician to your home or office to check out your Chrysler and let you know what it’s going to take to fix it.
