Re: battery dead??
we will say your alternator is charging,, turn your head lamps on , radio and blower motor for 10 minutes with the engine OFF then see if it will restart , if not, replace the battery,,, if your still not sure then go to the nearest auto parts buy a cheapo volt meter and test your alternator output, should read around 13.5 to 14.3 , make sure you have a good ground to block and body, also what kind of vehicle and year,,
