Battery will not hold a charge while driving in a 1997 dodge neon?

Ok, the first thing you need to know is if the alternator is working. The fastest way to find out is to start the car, and disconnect the positive wire from the battery (carefully and keep away from grounds) . If disconnecting it causes the car to shut off the charging system isn't working (this doesn't work on some newer cars but it does on the 97 neon). So if the car shut off you should take the alternator and have it tested. If the car stayed running have the batttery tested. Ok, the first thing you need to know is if the alternator is working.
