Re: Car problems
dead cells is a possibility. what you need to do is hate to say try a full battery. If even your girls. Hook it up with car off see if their is a draw off battery.You need a multimeter.could be trunk light, glove box, over head, or even hood light. Something is drawing juice and killing battery. I mean your not reversing then. I seen cables burn from bad grounds as well..so check your grounds. When you replaced alternator, you did make sure to put washers back exact way right? sometimes their insulators. and improper install will cause that...So some stuff to check. now go ....go check...lol

Re: Car problems
sounds like kaos is saying you have a parasitic drain somewhere...... i would look ast what he mentioned since it does seem like something may be playing a tolll in draining the battery beyond belief....

Re: Car problems
6 months? where did you get that from? he said 2 months that it hasnt been started up but worked fine when he added that battery 2 months before..... sounds like something was draining the battery like a glove box light, trunk lid light, bad ground or power on the stereo so settings are saved, etc...... something has to be draining the battery to cause it to be that low and such or get the bad cells. just my personal experience from working and body shops as not only a body man but a painter also.
