Your vehicle's charging system is not working. It is running only off the battery power. You need to have the charging system tested to determine what is At Fault.

My battery won't stay charged Replaced the alternator but battery still won't hold a charge Im almost positive that the battery is still good what could it be?

Why Batteries Won't Stay Charged or "Die"There could be many causes, but the most common causes include:A charging system [loose drive belt (s), defective alternator or generator, defective voltage regulator, damaged wiring, disconnected, loose, or corroded connectors and/or grounds, etc.] which is out of adjustment or defective.Corrosion on the battery terminals and/or the battery cable terminal connector clamps which inhibits or totally blocks the flow of charging current.Battery is just plain "worn out"; has reached the end of it life span.Can also be something is on and draining the battery. Make sure nothing is left on.

Would a locked up Alternator cause a motor to shut down and not crank back up even with good battery on a 1996 olds 88 I bought the car and did not get 2 blocks and the car shut down.?

Take the belt off the vehicle and try starting it up. If it start right up then change alternator. if it doesn't start up there other issues. I know it sounds crazy but you can start a vehicle up with no belts for a few minutes with a good battery.


What can cause the battery to go dead with car off?

1) A drain somewhere. Could be the ignition is faulty. Or, a dome light will drain a good battery in a week. Try removing negative lead from battery overnight and see. 2) Shorted diode in alternator. Try removing lead to alternator overnight and see. 3) Bad alternator not fully charging battery. Is "charge" or "gen" lite on while driving? Does it come on with head lights? Check voltage at battery with engine at fast idle. It should read 13.8 to 14.4 volts with headlights on. 4) "short-tripping" and/or hard-starting car. If you only drive a few blocks a day, this isn't enough to charge the battery. If your car is hard-starting (like Mine!) it can cause excess load on battery; possibly warping plates and reducing capacity. If car "slow cranks"; it's a sure sign of low battery. 5) Bad battery. If a plate is warped or battery is old and sulfated, one or more cells will go dead or reverse. Try putting a charger on battery. It should come up in a few hours. If it keeps drawing current, you have a bad cell. Replace battery. 6) Do you talk on a CB all night? (Didn't think so-!) I had a friend who did this, then kept complaining his "battery bad". Car batteries are not intened to be used for constant load, not even the 3 amps or so from a stereo or CB for 12 hours. A marine or RV battery is. Make sure all connections clean and tight. Keep Distilled water level up in cells--so you can see it--use a Flashlight, Not a match to see!


What is the best battery operated drill to drill holes in concrete blocks?

That's a tough task for a battery operated tool. You really need a hammer drill. There's a nice Milwaukee cordless hammer drill at Sears but it costs $350. My corded hammer drill cost only $79. To me that is a huge difference for the convenience of cordless.
