The alternator has failed. Get a new or rebuilt alternator.
battery is probably bad
might wanna get your altenator checked out to make sure its charging the battery
other than that they could be a ground exposed drawing power and draining your battery while the cars off
Your battery is not holding it’s charge……sounds like you need an alternator. Take your battery and alternator to the auto parts store and have them tested for free. That will at least tell you if you’re parts are bad or good. and good luck
alternator bad or battery bad most likley alternator but stil having it check easy at any shop or parts store most time free
Either the battery is shot or the alternator is not charging. Go to your nearest auto shop, most have a free battery and charging system check.
HI
ether the battery is bad or you have bad/dirty battery connections.
When you get a jump your car starts off the other cars battery.. then once it is running your car well run off the alternator until you shut it off or the alternator burns out.. which it well eventually if you don’t get the battery part fixed..
good luck

Either your alternator is no good and you need to replace it. Or your battery is no good and will not hold a charge.
The alternator is the expensive way to go. Bring it in to a repair shop and ask them to check the alternator. It is a minor procedure and only takes a minute. If the alternator test comes out ok, it means that the battery is not holding a charge and you need a new battery. If the alternator is no good, then you have to replace it, AND the battery might still have to be replaced. Good Luck.
Alot of times a cheap battery will short out so you have a bad cell and will boost off but not enough juice to turn the starter it wouldn’t hurt to get a full electrical systems check at an auto store most do it for free
You have a dead cell in the battery, it is not the alternator or the car would die when the boost was removed, the dead cell or any other battery problem prevents the battery was charging.
