Battery help, please

Hey, Heres my story,

Its winter, and I had my car running the other day no problems, took a while to start but wasnt that big of a deal, The next day it was about 2 degreess outside and I tried to start the car, Ended up draining the battery, but I think I have another problem

If I turn the key the dash clock dies, no door chime or anything else. If I dont turn the key and try to turn on the dome light, same thing.

I tried hooking up jumper cables 2 times now and I can get it to the point where turning the key gets all my accesories working great. If I try to start the car, click, and everything is back to fucking square one, cant turn the key without everything dying.

Am I not jumping the car enough? This battery is like 5 months old.

how long are the cables hooked up? you can't just hook it up and start it, it needs time to charge. rev the engine up a bit on the car you are using to jump it to charge faster. give it at least 2-3 minutes. then try, if not, try a jump box. if it's only 5 months old it should still be under warranty.

Cables are 12ft long and 8 gauge. which says for mid size cars. Also I let it charge for literally 20 minutes, and I get all my accessories and then when I finally try to start it, click

are you sure it's getting a good connection to charge? if so, i'd get a new battery under warranty.
