My battery was not charging so I had the alternator replaced 6 months ago with a 'rebuilt' one. It was fine for 3-4 months. Then the battery light came on again, tester showed 10.5 V and the starter was very low. I got a new battery. The shop wanted to sell me a starter, but I did not believe that I needed one.
Two months later, my battery light came on- stayed on- but the car restarted fine. The tester checked it for 12.5 V, it was low.
I only drove about 15-20 miles. The shop refused to warrant the battery, because I did not want to replace the starter.
1. Should I check out the alternator again for problems
2. Do I need a starter?
I have 2003 Hyundai Sonata, a great car besides this problem.
Thanks, in advance!
