Maybe your battery is dead and can't hold a charge. When your alt goes it goes. It probably has a dead cell in it that is draining energy without you knowing

I believe yellow tops aren't the best as they require a high charge. I heard red works best for these cars. Now is a good time to invest in having an allternator shop recoil it for a higher charge in amps. Especially if you have a large system like me.
