I was at my girlfriends house last week and i went to get into my car to go to work, when i turn the key and click click, car wont start. I take the key out put it back in and turn it again and nothing happens, car is completely dead. I take the battery to autozone to get it tested because i was able to jump the bird and i figured the battery was bad. battery tested ok. i bought a new starter and put it back in then put the battery in. Car fired right up. this weekend i woke up and went to go to work and the car did that same click noise again but went dead right after it did it. i took the starter back and got another one. put it in, looked like it was gonna start when i turned the key a little then it clicked and stopped again. could it be my battery is dead now? or my alternator isnt running enough voltage? i would see my volts drop to 10-11 when i had my heat and headlights on and hear a squeeling sound from under the hood(almost like a belt slip) could it be the battery and alternator? please help i need my daily driver

first off, if it's clicking that means there isnt enough power to turn the engine over, check to make sure all your grounds are good and tight, to check the alternator, when you get the car running put a volt meter on the positive and negative terminals on the battery should be around 14v.

Yeah I'd definitely get that alternator checked out, it could be going south. Make sure your battery cables are good and tight so you have a proper connection, and as stated above, check your grounds to ensure none of them came loose.
