Recently sometimes when i try and start my car in the morning nothing happens. Sometimes it starts up fine, but other times like this morning i tried to start it and when i turned the key nothing happened, when i turned it a second time it was cranking really slowly until there wasnt enough power to turn it over. Its done it a few times recently and starting to get annoying!

Would my alternator not be charging my battery effectly causing my drainage?

that could be the prob but if your battery has ran flat just topping it up of the alt is not goin to fully charge it

the best best would be to charge it fully over night and then see if the prob happens again

45 min wont do anythin it needs a full 12 hour overnight charge
