Uhm no all caps would help. How new/old is the battery? Go take it to your local parts store, most of them these days will test your battery for free and some even will test your alternator for free too.


This is assuming you did wire everything correctly...

Have your alternator checked, free is free. And you shouldnt be mixing and matching batteries from other cars.

I know that this isn't a thread about relocating the battery, but Maybe it can help troubleshooting your connections.

your alt might not be working properly still, it might only be pushing enuf voltage to keep the car running but not enuf to charge the battery, like its barly working maybe....

on my bad alt i couldnt get over 12 volts and it wouldnt charge the battery....
