I have replaced battery and alternater and still does charge. Car will start if I used a battery charger. What do I need to look for next?

All fuses are good

Usually if it starts with a battery charger, you need to check the battery cables themselves, and maybe the starter is drawing too much ampereage. Make sure the cables are clean and tight at both ends! Also next to the battery is your starter solinoid, check the fusible links at that location...
