I bought a new battery and a charger. I was able to finish my trip and I put both batterys on the charger. Once I started home I was able to drive the whole trip before the battery died near the gate to my home. I put the other battery in... now seemingly for no reason the battery light is off all accessories run fine. Any clues as to the problem aside from a dying alternator?
Batteries wear out and lose their ability to charge. How old is the battery that failed?
