Alternator is good, battery is comparivley new and a best kind. When the car is not starting, if I charge the battery and rimovethe charging equipment and start the car it starts ok. Now if I drive for a while and stop the engine, and try to start it, it will not start. It's possible I or some body I am working on my car incidentally shorted the battery that is +ve and -ve terminals joined long enough. Is it possible thata battery fuse exists on the car and it is blown

You need to get both of them retested alternator might not be putting out and battery not taking the charge also cables/terminals clean and properly tightened
