little help... battery issues

[tobybrennan]

i have to keep charging my battery as it just keeps dying most of the time even when i make sure i leave nothing on like lights etc.

will this require a new battery? or alternator?

thanks in advancee

You will need to get a multitester and test the voltage coming through with the engine running Mate. Either that or take it to the nearest kwik fit (or similar) who will check the battery and alt for free.

Not without testing the alt first......if the alt is not working then it will kill the new battery as well.

+1 Pointless just changing the battery, alternator will need testing.
