Alternator repaired
I get so much helpful advice from the site so I wanted to share an experience I had with a bad alternator. Recently, I was traveling to work, my first day on the job, and on my dash is battery not charging. Nothing happened outside of that so I continues to drive with no problems. On my way home my car power started to shutdown so I parked it. The next day my dad put in a fully charged battery and drove it the rest of the way home.
That weekend I took off the alternator. It was filthy, so I took it apart and cleaned it up including the brush holder which I ended up replacing. Bought off ebay for $9. Now it runs fine with no battery charging issues.
