    It is safe to jump with a car battery but I would only do so with the car NOT running.

    I think the next question would be why is it dead. And also what Toe said.

    Recharge the battery you have to see if it will revive. Next check charging voltage at 5000 rpm. It makes little sense to just drop in a new battery without testing the charging system at the same time.
