heres my problem, i just had to replace my batt and alternator, because i was driving down the road and my car cut off , my batt light was on so i replaced the batt, the batt light was still on after that so i replaced the alternator. Then my im driving along nicely for a while i would say 2 weeks or so after that, and Bam it happened again light goes on I try a jump the car only stays on for a few min and turns off.
Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

its just a crappy alt, and when the alt goes out it pulls a very hard draw from the battery damaging the battery. if you have to by a everstart battery from walmart, and they have a 3 year replacement no questions ask, and you don't even need a receipt to exchange it. im on my 3rd alt and 5th battery in 2 months.
