2 things need to be tested 1. the battery. Even new batteries straight off the shelf can fail in 7 seconds. It happens. 2. The charging system. Make sure you getting at least 13.5 volts perferably 14.5 and that it stays up even with headlamps and all accessories are on. If at any point it drops below 13.5, the alternator should be changed and rechecked. I had 3 bum alternators one day in the shop so never take for granted because it was in a new box that it will work the first time. Electrical components are just that way. They can fail new, used, remanufactured, rebuilt, etc.. Let me know if you need anything else!

How do I know if it is alternator or starter ???

the starter only turns the motor when the key is turned. the alternator charges the car when its running. if its dead you left something on to kill the battery. charge the battery. then get the charging system tested. advance autozone and I am sure other parts store can check the car for free

have a load test done on the battery as it may have sulphated up the plates and now will not hold a charge.. A long time stationary and short runs do help the situation.
