Car won't start and battery won't stay changed.?

First inspect and clean all connections. If you find nothing wrong, replace the battery, especially if it is over 3 years old, or has been discharged more than once. If it will not hold a charge and you know for sure nothing is on, as in, glove box, trunk, interior, brake, light. Are you saying that the car won't start BECAUSE the battery is dead? Will it start if you use jumper cables? Assuming that the car will start if you use jumper cables, get the vehicle started then remove the jumper cables. Use a volt meter to measure the voltage across the battery. You should have somewhere near 13.5 volts if the alternator is working properly. If the voltage is 12.5 volts or less, replace or rebuild the alternator.
