My Ford was not giving any signs of battery prblems, even though the battery died on it so badly we were not even able ti charge it. The same day we bought the battery, car was working great but after 3-4 hours the new battery died competely again. You think it might be the alternator?

Hi there,

Check the alternator charge rate, also have the new battery load tested as it also may be faulty, ensure that all battery cables & terminals are in good , clean condition and terminals are tight ,start here.
