It very well could. A couple different reasons for it happening. First is a regulator going bad. Would cause it to not charge. And if to far gone would drain some battery while driving. This is most likely the problem, if it's the alternator. Easiesway to tell is to hook up a volt meter and see if it's making 13.5-14.5 volts dc while running. Diodes inside it also act similar tto a 1 way check valve. So a bad diode ccould cause it to drain. And the last one is just a bad battery. Those are the main things that can cause a battery to die.

Hi there,
Yes! If your vehicle has a bad/faulty alternator (diodes), the charging process/system of the alternator will fail. Consequently, your vehicle will use more battery power than the charging system can replenish, causing your battery to drain fast, or completely die. Another cause is a bad voltage regulator. Click this link for more information from the Carparts knowledge database. If the alternator is the issue. We have an alternator for your car (2002 Chrysler Concorde 2.7L). Click this link to order it online. It comes with a lifetime limited warranty. I hope this helps!

I would say your alternator is bad but it could also be a terrible old battery. More than likely your alternator is bad.

Yes it could possibly be the alternator.. start your car and then undo the battery cables.. if the car stays on it's not the alternator.

- Just get your battery and alternator tested.

The simple answer is yes potentially. In some cases not only could the alternator not be charging to its full output and to keep up with the electrical system requirements but it could also pull a draw on the system and drain it further. Also a battery that is old or has a dead cell (even new) could be a cause as well

Check the age of your battery before anything first.
if you notice that your battery is around 3-4 years old. Then it's nearing the end or AT the end of its lifespan. After 3 years car batteries start to under perform in several ways.
On a normal vehicle, the alternator should be able to charge your battery after a 15-30 minute drive.
An easy way to see if your battery is bad is by going to your nearest auto parts store and asking them to test your battery. This is completely free and if you don't have tools to test your battery yourself, it's the next best thing.
If your battery is running optimally then your alternator would be the next culprit. Like your battery, your alternator can be tested for free at various auto repair stores . (Like AutoZone or Oreilleys) take it to one of them and see what they say.

If the alternator is bad, then it will not be able to hold, or supply energy/charge needed for a car to start. So yes. Your alternator is going out, and needs replaced.

Aside from having the battery, alternator, voltage resistor tested.... are there women or kids in the car? Do they keep turning on the interior lights? Check them after each trip.
