alright so here's my problem
 
I have a 2001 z28 camaro. About two weeks ago i had gotten a dead battery jumped it went to work...worked fine until the next morning. I then got a new battery and that lasted for about 2 weeks...until today where i got another dead battery. I had taken the new battery back got another one and put it in to see if randomly that battery was bad or something by luck, but thats not the case, but yeah i put that one in and turned my car on and it pretty much dying on idle.

Get your alternator checked out.................

check the excitor wire, its the little red wire coming out of the top of the alternator...it tells the car to charge the battery...

Where does the other end of that wire go?

No codes, SES light? Voltage on the dash gauge?

If you had the Delco battery for awhile, I've seen the positive side terminal leak a little amount of acid down the positive cable and eat it away right near the inner fender. Started to do that on mine and totally ate away my buddy's on his SS.

Just another thing to check other than alt.
