3 weeks ago was the first time my battery died on me, I thought it was just the battery. Bought a new battery 2 Fridays ago after it died again, and the battery died once again about a week later.
Now my boss tested to see if the Alternator was dead by disconnecting the battery while running, the car stopped immediately. I have been testing to see how the battery has been holding up since then and it has been fine.
So does this sound like a dying Alternator? Or maybe a shortage somewhere?
