My 2001 kia sephia will not hold a charge. i have had both the battery and alternator tested at a parts store, and both tested good. what else could be the problem?

You might have a bigger electrical problem. One of your cables might be grounded this way allowing all flow of electricity to go to the chasis of the car, draining your battery. Check E.C.U. with mechanic

Good luck

LOW BATTERY CHARGE ON NEW BATTERY-2000 kia Sephia

i would take the belt off and then check the idler pulley assembly..it could be worn out..since the belt is off check the alternator pulley for any play also. A loose belt will not help the battery to keep a charge. if everything looks o.k. and you said you have a new battery and belt then it looks like your alternator went bad. Hope this helps.

I would check ignition items or fuel delivery if it just died on you. It wont be the battery unless it was dead and the alternator stop working.

Car wont start

this is a simple troubleshooting issue....first go buy the mechanics manual from the auto store then go with the little stuff first try all your fuses battery cables and relays then flip your inertia switch and alternator maybe its not charging and the batteries dead if that doesnt work take it to them dirty guys with all those expensive tools but flip the inertia switch first sounds like an electrical problem
