Re: battery mysteriously drained

#1

the alternator is bad, specifically , one or more of the diodes in the
rectifier are bad.
the alternator needs to be replaced.

I must have said this 1000 times, so here goes 1001

DO NOT use an aftermarket rebuilt alternator, They are JUNK !!!

Spend the money and get a Nissan factory OEM rebuilt alternator, If you
don't you risk serious damage to the car's electrical system.

Hi all,
Yesterday, I couldnt start my nissan maxima GXE ('92). No lights
coming on, no nothing. The battery read about 4 volts ! Thought
battery was totally dead and got a brand new battery.

I fitted in the new battery and the car started up fine. I didnt run
the car again that day. Next day I attempted to start the car to go to
work but battery was totally dead again. The battery is reading about
5 volts and it is brand new !

I am baffled as to what could have drained the battery since I didnt
run the car at all ? Could my alternator be shorted but I can't
explain why the car started the first time when I put the new battery.

Any pointers sincerely appreciated.
