Best Answer

A battery is only an electrical storage device. If the battery is faulty it will not be able to store electrical energy. On the other hand, if the battery is ok, it could be discharged because the alternator cannot create sufficient energy to keep the battery charged. If you are able to charge the battery the problem is in the alternator or an electrical connection. If you can't charge the battery, go ahead and change it. However, replacing a good battery will only make the vehicle run briefly. If the charging system isn't working a new battery won't solve the problem.

How do you charge a car battery?

A car battery should not be "cycled" as in fully discharged and then recharged. Such a cycling would quickly destroy this kind of battery. A car battery is discharged slightly when you start your car, then it is recharged again when you drive your car. Proper charging whilst running car engine is good for the battery. A normal car-battery (Lead-acid) can last for many years if not "cycled". Never discharge battery more than 50%. How often you actually need to recharge your battery depends on how it is used.
