have the battery tested, average life of a battery is 2 to 3 years. if battery is good check voltage regulator and starter motor. there is a short somewhere if the battery is good
If you have no power to anything, and your battery isn't dead, then you more likely have a bad ground. If the battery is dead/keeps dying, there's a good likelihood that the alternator isn't charging it adequately.
Check for a loose ground.
The Alternator might be bad. Make sure the battery terminals are clean, and the wires are good. If you still have a problem check the fuses.
It could be two things. As you know, the alternator charges the battery so it will not drain. If the alternator is not working properly to charge the battery, the battery will continuously drain. Have the alternator tested at your local Auto Parts store (NAPA or Advance Auto) If it is good, have the battery checked.
If the alternator is good then the battery is bad.
If your car battery light keeps coming on despite having a good battery, belt, and alternator, it could be due to a faulty voltage regulator, which controls the voltage output from the alternator. Additionally, loose or corroded connections in the battery or charging system can cause the light to activate. It's also possible that there is a problem with the car's onboard computer or wiring issues, which may require a diagnostic check to identify.
Either the alternator/regulator has situation dependant problems such as opens with heat or vibrational malfunctions or there is a problem with an internal charging control in the engine computer
Yes. an alternator can be good but you can still have charging problems if:- 1.Battery is no good. 2.Fan belt slack or worn. 3.Poor or broken wiring connections at alternator. 4.Loose or dirty battery conections. 5.poor or broken wiring between alternator and battery. 6.Alternator rating not large enough for application.
If you can get your vehicle started you can then un hook the battery while it is running and if your vehicle stays running then your alternator is good. If it stalls and dies as soon as you unhook the battery then the alternator is not good.If you can get your vehicle started you can then un hook the battery while it is running and if your vehicle stays running then your alternator is good.

The alternator doesn't care. It provides power no matter if the battery is good, weak, or not even there.
check your battery ground and your alternator ground
triple diodes in alternator are bad
