could be anything, no the altanator will not keep it from starting but if it was bad the battery would die after running for a while. first see if your getting spark by removing a plug connect it to the wire, ground it and crank, look for a spark, if you have it then you probably have a fuel problem, or no fuel :( don't rely on your gauge). on way to tell if the pump is working is remove the gas cap and liston when someone else turns the key on, you should hear a hum for a few seconds the it will shut off.

About four week ago you replaced an old battery that was leaking acid Now your new battery is leaking acid is it just a bad battery or could something else be causing the new battery to leak?
Leaking from where on the battery, the caps? If so the charging system may be over charging the battery and causing the acid to boil out. Could be a voltage regulator problem.

Replaced the battery on your 2000 ford explorer and the battery light is still on could it be your alternator?
Most likely the problem is your alternator....the battery light actually does not monitor battery condition, only the charging system. I'd check the voltage regulator and the fuses first. The fuses are the cheapest fix and the voltage regulator will run about 25% less than an alternator.
My battery light on dash keeps coming on in my 1997 Mitsubishi eclipse rs Had alternator replaced and still coming on had replaced battery still coming on could this be the voltage regulator in the EC?
i had smilar issue with my 99 mitsu mirage, changed alt, and battery, and still had problems, turned out to be the voltage regulator. To test use a voltmeter and if the reading is below 13 on a new battery and is fluctuating then it should be the volatge regulator Try changing the belt i just had the same thing happen to my 03 rs i change both belts and then everything turned out fine after that

The battery regulator is faulty or the battery has internal damage. Continuing to use a faulty regulator can quickly cause battery damage.
