It seems to me that my battery is shot ! I have a new alternator, yet the battery keeps going dead and I have to keep recharging it. I'll drive the car a few times and then go to start it, and it will be dead, but the eye still remains green.

From my experience here at work that green eye lies like a cheap rug! We get several a year that we replace that will have a green eye but the battery will fail the load test. The battery may have enough voltage to keep the eye green, which is just state of charge, but will have a bad cell which will drop the voltage output to 9V or less. Most part stores like ours will load test a battery for no charge.

Green eye means the battery is not the problem. Alternator is not charging the battery and you're running the battery down each time you drive it after recharging it.
Get a good Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) and set it for DC Voltage.
With the car turned off, measure the voltage coming from the battery, it should be slightly above 12. If it's below 12, then you battery is probably not good.
Now start up you car. The VOM should now be reading about 14. If it's not reading 14, or if it didn't move, then your alternator is not charging the battery something is disconnected between the battery and the alternator. Measure at the battery terminals themselves. It's possible that your disconnect is simply the connection between the car and the terminals are dirty!

It tells you that the green eye is not the way to determine a batteries condition.

if its green it means the battery has a good charge, if it is not green, it will not show any color, that means that battery is shot

adult adult males are completely clueless approximately females and what they somewhat need. a guy thinks with the incorrect head constantly. If he theory approximately a thank you to make a woman happy, with the shoulder head, the different head would be dealt with without complication.
