We have a binary situation here, not a slow crank, a crank and then -nothing- and I presume the dash lights are NOT throwing a disco since op hasn't brought it up so his voltage isn't so low that electronics are throwing a fit. It's still better to ascertain
"does car want to start by putting voltage to Switch terminal" Y/N
If Yes then you've got all the time in the world to worry about supplying a lot of amps to anything you might desire, but if No, a battery connection and ground path so clean you could eat off of it will not help it start.

That is correct. Lights on dash are not flickering or going crazy. They resume normal operations after attempting to crank and dying.
