I had alternator problems in the past, it was replaced once early this year, and i think it was replaced one other time too when it wasnt mine. But about that im really not sure. Im going to try and charge my battery today and see if it can hold a charge (even though the car was on for a good 8 hours yesterday with no improvements). I really dont want to spend 50 bucks on a new battery only to find out that it wasnt the battery. If the battery dont hold the charge in the next 2 1/2 hours, then ill go and buy one and let you guys know on whats going on.
