Car won't crank. Charge battery overnight. Car starts and runs for about 15 minutes then shuts off then won't crank over. Have to charge battery again.

Hello,

On idle the alternator should have an output between 13.6V to 15.2V to the battery.

Here is a guide on how to test the alternator:

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
