The quickest way to test the battery is to have it drop tested this involves using a tool to apply a load to the battery which checks it's ability to hold a charge. If the battery checks OK then the charging rate of the vehicle should be checked Both of these tests can be carried out by any good garage

What is wrong when a 1994 Lumina will every once in awhile shut off completely but the battery is good and so is the alterator and will start back up immediately?
Look for a check engine light. If it is on, a local auto parts store will usually tell you what it means for free. I doubt this problem has anything to do with your battery or alternator. It sound like faulty wiring or sensor.
89 prelude shut off while driving but started after jumped but didn't keep running for long it wasn't the alternator?
I've had that same problem. My first guess would be the alterator. but, save your self the trouble of taking it out by first taking your battery to an auto zone and let them test the cell for you, if your battery cell is bad, it doesnt matter how good your alternator is, it just wont hold a charge, period. if its not the battery, then its definitely the alternator.

The battery is defective and has a dead cell. Replace the battery.
Battery light was on and checked to see if it was the alternator and the alternator was bad have not fixed the alternator and now the battery light has not come back on what could be the problem?
There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
What does it mean when your won't start or turn over?
I means you have a battery problem or a starter problem or dirty/loose battery cable connections. If the battery is operating the starter and the starter is turning the engine over but the engine won't start and run, you may have a spark problem or a fuel problem.

depends on make and model but is mostly a comp or connection problem between battery and alternator and electrical system
You have Honda civic car 96 model dx the battery has power but theres no power thu out the car everything is dead is there a fuse you need to replace?
There is no fuse between the headlights and the battery. If the headlights are dead, then your problem comes down to: battery (may have some voltage, but no current) and the battery cables.

Can you start a truck with starter problem or do you have to tow it?
That depends upon what the starter problem is. If the battery is exhausted, you can use another vehicle's battery, with jumper cables.
