[QUOTE="silverdj, post: 776027, member: 559923"] First of all, Do you have an O'reilly Auto Parts or an Autozone where you live? If you do, take your car up there and have them check the battery while it is still in the car, cause they can do that. The "competent shops" aren't the only ones with a portable battery tester. Second, it sounds like your battery is either very low on power due to a bad alternator or you could have a bad cell in the battery. Third it could be both the battery and the alternator. Just some advice for you, if you only have a bad alt. I would get the battery charged before hooking everything back up, cause a well drained battery that needs a full charge could kill that new alt you just put in. [/QUOTE]
