Subject: Re: is the battery gone or the aiternator not charging it?


A charging system is not meant to recharge a dead or dying battery. As a matter of fact, this puts a great strain on the system. When you do change the battery though, have the alternator checked to see if it is properly charging, or you will be dealing with a dead battery again.
