Battery or Alternator ???????

(1/5) > >>

chrisgarrett:
My battery keeps losing it's charge.  I have to keep it on the trickle charger.  I'm assuming it's the battery and not the alternator.  The battery is about 6-7 years old and the car is only driven seasonally and occasionally.  I know there is a possiblity the problem could be the alternator and not the battery.  Is there a way to find out without removing the alternator?

SuperSix:
The battery is beyond it's useful life. 3-4 years is a good rule. Even on a trickle charger and minimal use, I would replace it every 4 years. That being said - how long does it take to lose it's charge?

chrisgarrett:
Not sure, but I'm thinking overnight, if it's not on the charger.

gordyzx9r:
You need to order a gold plated 440 gigawatt alternator from "power sons of bitches" and put a 2 gauge wire between the alternator and something something :phpbbt;

chrisgarrett:
Can you put two of those PowerMotherFuc kers in a parallel connection?  I want power man.
