Message	The battery is for starting the car, or supplying power to systems before the engine turns over and starts spinning the alternator. If the alternator was bad, the battery would be drained quickly and the car would not run. Maybe for a short time if you charged the battery back up before starting it again. If there's an issue with the alternator not being able to keep the battery topped off, then it couldn't keep the car running either. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Conversation between my sister and my wife (shortly before we got married): Wife: "You know, sometimes I think he loves that Z more than he does me." Sister: "He probably does, and as long as you're okay with that, everything will be fine."
