Is my battery bad? I think something is messed up with my alternator or battery or something. My lights flicker all the time terribly bad. And if I push both my window buttons down, my enigne seems to bog down. I don't know what it is or what to do. Anyone have suggestion? Thanks

.My last rebuilt alternator ended up costing me $28,000
! I put a rebuilt alternator in my wife's older car and it went bad the very next day and stranded her. She said, "Thats it! I'm getting a new minivan!" I've bought 2 brand new alternators for my other cars since then
