    i was thinking if the car is running while the battery terminal is pulled that should mean that the battery is good and the alternator is not holding power .. 8D

    You got it backwards lol, how would it indicate the battery is good if you take it out of the system and the car continues to run? That means the ALTERNATOR is still charging.

    Sounds to me like you have a battery with a dead cell bro, I'd either have it checked or just go ahead bite the bullet and replace it.
    Who knows?

    lol its not a matter of a charge. remember your car is charging it and its not holding. so if they charge do u think it will hold. u need a new battery.

    Like HB said, sounds like you have a dead cell. Just get a new battery.

    Make sure the alternator belt/tensioner is tight as well.

    problem solved.


    once the battery gets to a certain low level, it won't hold a charge. only way to fix it is the bolded print quoted.
