Car battery keeps dying, I have to get a jump everytime i turn off the car cuz it wont turn back on. it usually takes a few tries to get it jumped. a couple times i've got it jumped and it turns right back off. the headlights are still bright as can be, radio works fine. is it my battery or alternator?

The problem may be a bad alternator. When the battery is completely dead jump starting the car will charge the battery enough to run the car for short periods. Take the alternator to the auto parts store and have it tested (usually for free).

Try replacing your battery. It takes a lot of power to start your motor but only a little to run lights etc. When you get a boost from another car your using the other cars power to start yours.

I would say change the alternator out. Start with the simplest and cheapest factor first. Without the alternator keeping the engine running its hard to put it any gear.

Check and clean and tighten all battery, starter, and alternator connections. Also the battery and engine to chassis grounds. Did you have the battery " load tested" as a good test requires?
Take the battery out and have it charged up. If the alternator is good, you should not have any more problems. But if you need a jump after a few days to start it, then either the alternator or the battery is just not up to par. Have the alternator tested while on the car and running.
Good luck.

bring your car to a autoparts store and askem to test your battery, usually done for free. or try jumping ur car and if it wont jump ur battery is shot or if ur driving and ur lights are dimm thats ur alternator. check all ur interior light before leaving ur car too thad **** ifu wer making it die! good luck.

If it started with a jump, the battery either needs a charge or is bad.

I assume it started with the jump, but when disconnected, it died again. If so, this means it is also not charging which likely means a new alternator.

You can take the battery and alternator to the local parts store for testing (you may need both).

Hope this helps.

If you have a new battery and it keeps going dead, then either you have a bad battery or the alternator is not charging properly. Altenator not charging could be either a bad alternator, loose belt, or bad wiring coming from alternator.

think you need a new radio i suspect you put the jump leads on the wrong way around

because aaa can jump start it and you can't sounds like maybe the battery cables are curroided (dirty)
in-between the battery post and the clamps, clean the battery terminals and charge your battery as a loose conection can run down even a new battery

take it to an acura dealer and they can unlock the radio for you if you don't have the code.
