Default Battery / Wont Start

Good Afternoon All,
I recently returned from a fishing trip (30) Days. My car was left in airport parking. Unfortunately, the car was never started or moved. In short, the battery died. Triple AAA tried to jump the car, not sure if something were blown in the attempt. Purchased a new battery. Now the car will not start. Everything lights up. But no action with the car starting. Does this sound common?

2013 Jaguar XJL 3.0

I hope AAA did not try to jump the car from fusebox point under hood, since it will not take the load. (there are warning markings on the cover) Correct jump points are in trunk.

I would be contacting AAA about them fixing my car if they damaged the electronics because they ignored the warnings and used an improper location for the jump.

Hope it all works out for you.

Ohh dear...
The fusebox input are only to power vehicle enough to have pover for trunk opening, nothing else. Not even turn the ignition on. There are not thick enough wires to cope more. The AAA fellows should know to check markings on the lids of power inputs.
I donīt know what will fail in this case, there are several cases known, even in this forum, but the owners have not been reported what or how they got vehicle running again?
First of all: The AAA company have an insurance and repair costs should be covered from that, since they did the wrong connection.
