Battery may have a dead cell and need replacing.
No, the alternator is the charging device which runs off a belted pulley attached to the motor. The alternator charges the battery which is the source of the current required to get the engine turning over and in turn starting the engine.
It is part of the alternator. If you are having problems keeping a charge or problem with high voltage, you might want to consider replacing your entire alternator.
If the battery was charged when you installed it, you do not have to drive the car at all. If not you should charge the battery and not use the cars alternator to charge it.
Charge it, replace it,test the alternator,Charge it, replace it,test the alternator,
The battery has a dead cell or short and needs replacing.
Any alternator will charge at idle.
