91 cutlass battery,alternator problem???
the car would run fine for a few days or months then one morning out of the blue the car would be stone dead. you could charge the battery and it run fine until it mysteriously goes dead again. numerous new batteries have been put into the car and still the car would be dead out of the blue. no lights or anything are being left on. so could it be the battery or altinator or a bit of both??? im new here and im trying to solve this problem for my girlfriends uncle. any help or response would be great

It could be. I have only seen an alternator work, or not work. I assume this has the light, and not a voltmeter. Does the charge light work, and does it come on at all? You can certainly check the output of the alternator with a voltmeter, but if it is sporadic, you will have to monitor it. If it is sporadic, again I've never seen one. I'd suggest get an inexspensive voltmeter, wire it to the battery with enough wire you can monitor it while driving.
