Might need a marine biologist and auto mechanic for this one ...lol

nope
not enough amperage. electric eel only produces about 1 amp; a battery outputs anywhere from 400-1000 amps on average
In simple terms; think of electricity like a water hose; Voltage would be the pressure of the water, Amperage would be the size of hose. Trying to jump start a car with an electric eel would be akin to trying to turn a dam's hydroelectric generator with a water gun...
