Alternator Not Charging Battery, need help on charging kit

Asked by donut with Oct 18, 2019 at 07:16 AM about the 1999 Nissan Maxima GXE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Currently , I've had a issue to where my alternator is not charging my battery.
I've already replaced a few things before this such as

Starter
Alternator
Battery

The new battery I purchased was a gold one and the car died a month a
later and can only be revied by a jump. After inspecting the battery at
AutoZone they told me the alternator looked fine as well as the battery but
there could be an electric fuse causing the alternator to not charge the
battery. Is it that or is the alternator just bad?

What kind of charging kit could I purchase to swap out the charging /ground
lines if it is the charging system?

Get a voltmeter. 12.4 volts with engine off. 13.5 volts minimum with the engine running.
