i bought a hyundai sonota-3 days later it started shaking and the battery just died. It was jumped and driven but did not make it more than a 1/2 mile before dying again-the battery cables were replaced and it's been fine for 2 weeks and started this again but this time the lights went somewhat dim and the car died. I try to restart it but i just hear the clicking of the starter-I just bought this car for 2600 dollars for my son and it's already a big headache-can you help me?

Hi there,

You will need to get the battery charged and load tested, this will prove the battery, good or bay, have the alternator charge rate checked as well.
