first thing i say is take it to a parts store or service shop and ask them to test the battery. a good store should be able to test for free on the vehicle, also many of them can perform a basic alternator test on the vehicle. any quality shop will do both with a quality charger for a nominal fee.
if both pass the tests ... most likely something drawing juice.
but if alternator is gone then the car wouldnt run for veryy long right?

had the car for 3 years bought it used so dont know how old the battery is. just didnt feel like goin ove rhtere getting it tested instead of just buying a new one and installing it myself. but i guess i dont have a choice...
