How do you know you need an alternator or a battery?
It's easy to distinguish if your car has a damage alternator or battery. The first thing you do is to start your car using your old battery then, once the engine is running then remove the cable from your battery, if the car still running that means the alternator is still charging but is it enough? so you have to measure the current that is being generated by the alternator using a multi tester. If the reading from the tester can reach 13 to 14 volts then your alternator is still good. If not then the carbon brush of the alternator might need to be replace or the IC. If your car battery is already leaking then it possible that the plates are already damage, or if you have tried to charge your battery but the power is easily drained then it needs to be replace. i hope this can help ......... deep
