Battery keeps goin dead(New Alternator/batt)	Sign In

Ok first..I'm new to this forum and I have searched all over the net but can't find no solution.I took all the fuses out so I can see if anything is running,I checked to make sure all the wires was fresh and grounded.and when I drive like 15 mins and then turn the car off it won't start.Brand new alternator and battery.I've changed them both several times and it continue to happen.Now when I leave home I have to bring a extra battery or a jump starter..Sometimes it will go a whole day without problems.If I charge it and don't drive it,It'll start with no problem.Once I go a few miles it's over.What do you think is my problem?Thanks

Have you actually had anything tested like the battery and the charging system?

I haven't had the charging system checked.I don't know what that is.I've had 8 new batteries in the past 3 months.I've even tried a marine battery

You need to stop throwing parts at it and start testing things before replacing them. have the battery tested and test the charging system with a digital voltmeter to find out if the battery is being recharged or not.
