Hey Guyz,

Alright today after lunch I go out to start my car..... itz totattly dead.....I mean no crank..no weak signalz of lighting....nothing...I figure i juss left my lights on, like i sometimes do, so i get some dude to give me a boost...everything is fine so head dwntown to get some studying done....after turning off my car , i press my alarm button...i get no response...the car is dead once again...and thats after rough 40min of driving and letting the battery charge.......so i get another boost and head home and it dies once again....dis time it dies while shutting the ignition half way so the radio is still on then trying to start it once agian......agian is tottally dead..no crank, no lights...

I was wondering if neone has an idea what the problem might be...I figure its time to replace my battery, but its seems unlikey since I just replaced it a month ago....and everything else seems fine

If i can get any feedback it'd be appreciated.....

Alternator maybe?

Battery cell is dead and can't hold a charge anymore. Battery may be permanently dead if the juice has been totally sucked out for a long time.

once you boost and start, the alternator kicks in and takes over generating power from the battery..

Once you turn off the car, it reverts to battery power! That's why it doesn't start again, and why nothing responds once the car is
off.

Make sure you got good grounds for the battery and the alternator..You may have an issue there that's not allowing the alternator to properly charge the battery.
