About two weeks ago the "battery" light came on so I replaced the battery, two days later the alternator failed, I replaced also but it failed about four hours later, I went back to auto parts store and got a new
alternator. I installed it and then after four or five hours failed again; I have checked fuses, connections,
What could be the problem?

I also have a Nissan Sentra that has repeat alternator problems. I've put 4 alternators in the car in the last 2 years. The last one lasted about 30 minutes. Were there any suggestions for what to check?
