What is wrong if my battery is good but the car still won't start?

To correct the problem:
1) Are the battery cables loose on the battery's connection posts? You should not be able to turn them by hand. Check and tighten if necessary.
2) Does the car make a loud "click" sound when you try to start it? If so, you may have a starter motor problem.
3) If your car is old it may be the ignition system itself which has a fault.
Check the first 2 and correct and/or replace if need be. If that doesn't work, it might be more than a DIY repair-at-home problem.
What brand & year of a vehicle do you have? It could help you to get a better answer here if you stated the year-make-model of the problem vehicle.

Can you charge a battery and it still be no good?
If you charge the battery and it is not working then there is something wrong with the battery. Batteries are not usually repairable.
Why is the battery light staying on in your 1991 Toyota 4-runner?
There is something wrong with the charging system. Check the alternator and the battery to see if both are still good. Good Luck!

Check the wire from the battery to the body and from the battery/body to the engine block.
What might be wrong if you turn the key and the car will not start?
Start with the gas tank. No fuel, no start. Then check the battery. If the battery is low or dead, it will not start. If you jump it and it starts, but will not continue running, it is the alternator. If you have gas, a good battery, a working alternator, but it still will not start, and perhaps the tharter makes a weird noise or no noise at all, it's the starter.From there, it depends on the make and model of the vehicle. Could be a number of manufacturer specific problems.Ussually when its the starter a good wack to the starter will make it turn on from pesonal experience of course :)

How do you diagnose bad alternator?

How long can a car sit idle before he battery dies?
Hard to say as it depends on the battery and how good it is. A good battery can sit for 6 months and easily still start a car and 1 year is not out of the question.

Why won't 2001 ranger start without a jump but will stay running?
Sounds like a dead battery. You need the battery to start the car, but once it is running the engine runs completely off of the alternator (which also recharges the battery if the battery is still good).
If you try to start your car starter good battery good still wont start is it the fuel pump?
Does it turn over? Does it have spark? Does it have fuel? Does it turn over? Does it have spark? Does it have fuel?
