Today I got into my car to find after about 10 slow cranks my battery died out. I had to get a jump and it took quite a while and numerous tries to get it fired up. So I got the car to my other home where my tools are, I took out the battery and put it on the charger, it was next to empty. I just replaced the alternator last year with a 150 amp, and the batter was replaced in April. The battery has died a few times and recharged using only alternator power once the car was running, I've never charged it on the charger until today. Also while inspecting my fuses, my 20amp #7-fuel pump fuse was melted down on itself, I had to use pliers to get it out. My hi/lo beam fuses were kind of melted but thats the usual thing for me. Anyway, what am I to suspect here, the battery, alternator or what? Can a short somewhere cause no charge to the battery? My volt gauge reads that I'm getting 12~13. This situation is confusing me.
