Alternator or battery?!?!!?
Hey after a long winter my car doesn't seem to want to turn over. I've boosted it several times and let it run for a bit but still she does not start the next day. So im assuming its either the battery or alternator. The battery seems farely new and i had just changed the battery connectors.
Just wondering if it is the alternator what brand should i go with. It's a 97' Eclipse sypder 2.0
Thanks
Mike

so after you jump the car it will run for a while? Just charge the battery, start the car and let it run for a bit (long enough that the battery should be fully charged) then take a voltmeter and check the voltage. If its below 12volts then its probably the alternator. But you can get both of them tested at autozone for free.

Hey Engineer
Yea i let it sit and charge for about 15-25 minutes or so then took it for a spin. The battery looks new but I am unsure about it. I'm pretty sure its the alternator but I could be wrong. If it is the alternator which is the best type?
Thanks man
