Make sure the battery connections are free of corrosion and tight. Spend a couple of dollars and get a battery post cleaning tool. Check the transmission fluid too.

FOR is correct, Im disabled, hood up a kid cleaned the wire end whaere they bolt onto terminal, clned terminal, posts, it cranked right up. Prior to this I was able drive around (I suppose on alternator), yet batt wouldnt charge due to poor connections. Weird part for me is this happened yesterday, way home engine starts misfiring, then revving, barely made it home an its 30 hrs or so, and I havent touched it since I pulled in killed motor(which seemed hald-killed already,lol.). .

maybe your alternador does not have the voltage regulator inside of it.that will cause your battery to discharge.als you might have a short circuit.
