If the battery, drive belt and wiring are okay then I would suspect the alternator is faulty. Your local auto parts store can test the charging system for you at no cost.

Why did your 1995 Subaru drain the battery?

Depends on if it drained while you were driving or ran down while it was parked overnight. If the battery runs down while you're driving the vehicle then more than likely the alternator is defective. If the battery drains while the vehicle is parked then the problem is either a dead cell in the battery or a light is on somewhere on the vehicle. Could be a under hood light, trunk, glovebox, dome, or even the brake lights. It can also be a relay that is stuck.


How do you find a parasitic battery drain?

To find a parasitic battery drain, first ensure the vehicle is off and all accessories are turned off. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and use a multimeter set to measure current (amps) to check the draw by placing it in series between the terminal and the battery cable. A reading above 50 milliamps usually indicates a drain. To isolate the source, systematically remove and replace fuses while monitoring the current until the drain stops, indicating the circuit causing the issue.

Could you drive a car with a bad alternator?

Driving a car with a bad alternator is not advisable. The alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the electrical systems while the engine runs. If it fails, the battery will eventually drain, leading to loss of power and potential engine shutdown. It’s best to address the issue promptly to avoid being stranded or causing further damage to the vehicle.
