My 93 Buick Century is having a problem starting. We had the alternator and battery checked. At first it said the battery and alternator was fine and a week later we had it checked and we were told the alternator is bad and the battery is good. If we disconnect the battery at night and plug it in the morning it starts fine, but if we leave battery plugged in it has a problem starting. Every time I take it to a mechanic they say they don't know what's wrong with it. Please help.

check belt is tight and or not damaged if good check power steering fluid if low can cause binding if good have alternator and battery checked alternator may be going bad and not charging battery [and if bearing going bad can cause binding }
check whether your vehicle is equipped with any immobilizer -anti theft system- as these systems are the one which could cause these unexpected situations.
Charge your battery and have it tested. Most part stores will do this for you at no cost. I'm leaning towards an alternator issue but it is possible that it could be both the battery and the alternator. Even if it's just the alternator the battery should be fully charged as a discharged battery can damage the alternator.
most wiring problems occur at rear of vehicle check for a wire rubbed thru bare on suspension drivers side frame also check wiring around starter and also taillight wiring at back end....if itwent dead siitting there then power drain is on right track it is fine once running alt chargeing proper?
check connections and wiring at battery and alternator then check battery and alternator -battery may not be holding charge and is dead and or alternator is not putting out enough of a charge or not charging at all some auto stores will check ur battery and alternator for free
how are you champ for the start check your battery voltage or to be safe just put it on charge and try then i know you had a new battery but over the time if the car doesnt get driven very offten battery goes flat also check your battery terminals make shore they give good contact hope this helps...
