I think my alternator's shot.
I went to start my car yesterday, and the battery was dead. I
jumped the car, and it ran fine (after I disengaged the jumper
cables). I drove it for an hour, and let it idle afterwards for
10 minutes. I went to start it 5 minutes later, and the battery
was still completely dead. All electrical items run w/o the
engine on enough to know that the battery ic connected.
Is there a different circuit that connects the battery to the
car, and that connects the battery to the alternator? Or is it
that the alternator uses a different line to run the engine than
it does to charge the battery?
