Why doesn't my battery charge?
I can charge the battery and it just goes dead quickly. I got the Alternator tested and its supposedly fine!

If the car starts and the battery just slowly starts to drain it is an alternator fault.

The battery's only job is to start the car. It does not do anything else. The alternator charges your battery while the car is running or you are driving the car. If the car died while you were driving, then you might want to re check the alternator. Now if you jump start the car and you drive it or let it run. for 20 minutes, then turn it off and try to restart the car and it won't start, then your battery is not holding the charge and you will probably need a new battery.

Its when I drive it. I drove it around the block and it died just as I got back.

Hi Zackery,
I would suggest getting your battery tested. Autozone or O'Reilly should do that for free.
