Most likely your alternator is not working properly.
The easiest of all ways to check if your alternator is working is. Turn your car on and disconnect the negative battery cable. If your car dies your alternator is no good. But if it stays on. the alternator is generating power. its basically your cars power plant.
Car won't start... engine can turn over, no power.
means that your alternator is not working. It is either bad or your belt is not tight.
The battery will run down and he engine will stop. You will not be able to start the engine. The alternator keeps the battery fully charged.
It doesn't actually drain the battery, but without a working alternator to recharge the battery it will only discharge as the car is operated.
If the battery and alternator are good and the charging system is not working, then you either have loose or corroded wiring or the drive belt is slipping.
Alternator is no longer working properly.
Alternator is most likely going bad. Does your car start right back up after this happens? If your alternator is bad your car is trying to run on pure battery power and getting zero if little charge from your alternator. When this happens little by little your car will run out of power to everything and in turn shut off.
