Alternator or battery?

Asked by GuruBKPCJ Jan 10, 2019 at 07:03 PM about the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado and I came home
from work then went or and noticed the “battery
not charging” light on and the battery icon on. The
voltage meter went almost all the way down to 9
volts. Truck will not start without jump and when
you turn it off truck won’t start unless jumped.

thats a battery. What's happening is the alternator is charging enough to keep itself running, but the battery is not accepting the charge
