[QUOTE="Martin , post: 805725, member: 65636"] Older cars.....yes But these new ones with the computers, sensors, etc, I don't think they will continue to run without the battery. If a battery is bad, you could burn out the alt fairly easy since it will try to run non-stop trying to charge the battery. I've lost a few alt's in the past which were due to a bad battery. Since you said you could jump start it and it ran for a short time, I think there is a good chance you have a bad cell and the remaining ones are draining into the bad one. Or there is just an internal short within the battery. [/QUOTE]
