no becuase the instant you start your vehicle you are drawing on that battery reserve. what you could do is to hook up the jumper cables and let the donor car charge your battery for a little while, then start it and drive immediately to your destination, hoping you have enough juice to get there...save all electrical power you can by keeping the radio, a/c, lights, etc off, conserve power.
