Can a bad starter keep your alternator and battery from charging?
YesFirst if the starter is bad the car will not start, if it will not start it can not charge the battery.If the starter will not work it can mean there is an electrical problem that will also prevent the alternator from charging the batteryThe starter itself CAN NOT CAUSE CHARGING PROBLEMS!The extra load on the battery can ruin the battery and that can ruin the alternator. But before that NO.

What is wrong with the battery if it wont stay charged with a new alternator on a Chrysler 5Th avenue?
Your alternator is probably rebuilt and not really new. I have had this problem several times and I have bought a new battery and alternator. The alternator keeps your battery charged and powers your electrical system, so even when driving you can lose all power in the car from the alternator draining your battery. Take the battery and alternator to an auto store and they will test both for free. Ask them about the difference in a rebuilt alternator and a brand new one. This is a very common problem.

Why is your battery light on?
Indicates a problem with the electrical charging system. Can be a bad battery, alternator, loose alternator drive belt, corroded battery connections, or ground connections. Normally this would indicate a problem with the alternator but not always. Most auto parts stores will check the system free of charge, if you buy the repair parts from them, which would only be appropriate.
