Ok, So I don't drive my car everyday because I do not have my drivers license yet. But I do run the car every couple of days. Well the other day I go to start the car up, and it wouldn't start.. My guess was I might have left something on and didn't notice it.. because I dont drive the car everyday, so probably killed the battery.. So I jumped it and let it run and it was good for the time being. I go to start it today, (a couple days later) and the car had a very bad start.. Like it wasn't starting up strong? It was very weak. So I turned it off and go to give it another shot, and It didnt start? Car seems dead again.. And electronics are weak? Do I need to jump it and drive the car for a while, or is it the Altenator? I don't know but its getting me annoyed. I also have a 1 month old new battery in the car. So Please help! Thanks

Before you change the alternator just give the battery one more test, just to be sure that it isnt the battery. keep us posted!
First, make sure the cables and terminals are clean on the battery.
Start the car; Once its running, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. If the car dies, its the alternator. If not; its the battery.

Good Luck. Hopefully its just corrosion on one of the posts in which case a can of sprite can take care of that :thumbsup:
Good advice here...just don't lose your license before you don't have it...I lost mine once and I'll never fuck up like that again.
Why not just throw a trickle charger on the car since you don't even drive it? I doubt that cranking up the car every couple of days will properly charge the battery.
