1993 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 103000 miles

I charge the battery (its not an old bat) and the car runs fine for about 3 days then it dies until I charge it again. How do I tell if its a battery or alternator problem

Thanks

Sounds like an alternator problem. You should get a volt meter and with the engine running test the voltage from the positive side of the battery. Red wire on the tester to the + on the battery and the black to a good ground on the car. Reading should be about 14 volts. If not, the alternator is not kicking out voltage.
