Electrical problem
1995 Cadillac Deville Two Wheel Drive Automatic

1995 Caddy Deville. Car started every week for 7 months but not run. Battery went dead. Replaced battery and was told not to run car as alternator tested to show 15.40A and needs to be replaced before running car. Tod to have car towed rather than drive as it would kill new battery....Never a problem before.....????

How far of a drive are you taking it for? If its not too far (20, 30 mins) than driving it will be fine with the new battery.
