1. You've got a bad battery that refuses to charge.

2. Your alternator, rectifier or voltage regulator is malfunctioning.

3. Your auxiliary belt, serpentine belt or fan belt is broken.

4. There is a short circuit somewhere that drains the battery even when the ignition is switched off and the key removed.
