Battery won't hold a charge!

My Camaro doesn't seem to want to hold a charge. Took battery to autozone and the test said bad battery. Put the new one in and it started. It later died on my later that night while i was driving. Took the alternator to autozone and the test said it was fine. Charged the batery overnight and it started the next day. Started it today and it went be died within ten minutes.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Battery won't hold a charge!

Did you confirm its charging while running?

In case you didn't already know: Put a volt meter on your battery terminals while the car is running. Should show over 14 volts. 11 or 12 and you have a problem in the charging system.
