Battery vs Alternator

Just a quick note:

Your battery is only used to start the car. Once the car is running, the alternator takes over.

Unless of course, your Alt is fried, in which case your battery will attempt to run your car for a very short period of time before it dies.

Like the other guys said, its your Alt.

Nissan Parts Wholesale These guys are great. A new Bosch alternator was ~$90 with the core return. They have lots of other stuff quite a bit cheaper than most places.

It's the alternator, www.jagworks.com sells them but they charge a core charge until you send them the old unit back.
