Why will my battery not hold charge if the alternator is good?
could be something wrong with the distributor. This happened to me a few months ago. My 2001 Honda prelude was only running off the battery for a day or so and I took it in to get the alternator replaced. They did that, but it still was only running off of the battery and my gauges weren't working. I took it back and they replaced the distributor and everything worked again. Or the alternator could be loosely connected.

Camry99 I changed the battery 4 months ago but I could not regularly use it.I've to jump start the car every time I try to start. jump started in morning but couldn't start in evening. what's the prob?
Check the alternator. If the alternator is not generating enough electrical energy to run the car AND recharge the battery you'll always have a low battery. If that's not it try to find something that is being left on that's draining the battery.
