Sounds like your alternator is bad. Put a volt meter on your battery terminals and see what the voltage is before you try to start it. watch to see how far it drops when you start it. If it goes below 10v the battery may be bad due to a bad alternator. if it starts, see what the voltage is while it is supposed to be charging. It should go to 13.4 approximately if alternator is working properly.
