It is most likely your alternator not working the alternator recharges your battery when you are driving, most auto electrical stores will do a "FREE" check for you, hope this helps

I have a 98 lincoln towncar i changed the battery and alternator several times but my car is always going dead i mean the new battery and alternator will last about a day wat can it be

Instead of continuing to purchase batteries and alternators, why don't you take your car to a qualified mechanic and have it properly diagnosed and repaired. It certainly would be cheaper.

I have a dead battery and I try charging it lights go on but when I turn the key to turn on it gives me a click click noise... Does anyone have an idea wat it is ???

Your battery may have a dead cell,take it to Autozone and let them test it,it's free,also make sure your battery cables are good and make a tight connection to the battery terminals.

New battery keeps going dead when car shut off overnight

Sounds like a slow drain - like a dome light or short in the wiring.
If the battery stays charged when it is disconnected, you'll have to check for a power drain in the car.

Battery keep going dead, has new battery

Have you checked to see if the alternator is charging ? Run a volt meter on the battery with the engine running, have to have more than 14 volts. If 13 or less, then replace the alt.

Battery keeps going dead. 06 ls430

With the engin not running and the key off, lift the hood and disconnect the positive lead on the battery. Then touch the lead back to positive terminal on the battery. If a spark is seen, there is something still on in the car. Could be the power mirror switch, seat heaters or even a car phone. Trial and error to find it.

Sorry I can't be more specific but that is the test.

Good luck.

Brand new battery, wants to turn over but keeps losing its charge, the break lights only turn off if you lift the pedal after u use it, alternater belt squeaks a little. wat could cause this when the...

Well, if the alternator belt squeaks a little, it cannot be actually charging properly, resolve that...

First steps would be to fully charge the battery and measure the voltage. Turn of vehicle Disconnect the negative terminal overnight, for a night or two.

If battery still dead, focus on the battery.
If battery is not dead, put a volt meter between the negative terminal and cable and measure voltage... do not be mislead by interior lights, or clock, pull those fuses, during testing...

Anyways, keep going until you find a drain.

The alternator has diodes that can cause a drain...disconnect for testing purposes...

NEVER run the vehicle with the battery cable dicsonnected.
